Here's what you get for a $100 max bet:

"You Hold" mode offers somewhat better pay tables than "Pro Hold" because you have to make your own decisions.

It's a 7/5 schedule, but with big pays at the top. Normally a royal would pay 80k, and a straight flush 5k. I calculate 98.52% as shown.

The cards of the day are 2 ranks from 5 to 9. A card-of-the-day quad spins the wheel for a bonus of 7 to 100x bet amount.

A mystery bonus spin occurs randomly in any game, and pays $3 to 250 for small bets, or 15 to 1199 for big bets.

Complete the sentence: "The pay tables where I play are so bad..."

I have a couple in mind I'm sure someone will get

The Jack in Cleveland use to have decent video poker with plenty of machines, now it's just a few machines back in the corner. Bummer.

Some of the Vegas Strip casinos are now down to one section of video poker, and also at the bars. One section of electronic table games. Everything else is reels only with a few keno machines.

Up here, the bars give the best bang for the buck. Luckily for me, they are so short staffed, some of the bars are closed but the machines are open. Otherwise I wouldn’t go near the bar crowd with the disruptions and Covid issues still out there.

Twin River had free valet forever. When they finally reopened the valet after the pandemic they started charging $5 with the sign saying "tips greatly appreciated".
Last week the sign read "Parking $10".
THIS week the sign reads "Parking $10 Tips greatly appreciated".
This place sucks. They just opened a great spa-$100 a day!
On a brighter note the poker room opens Feb. 23 after being closed 3 years.
I hit the biggest jackpot in my life 2 weeks ago-$2500 on the dollar slots on the second floor so I shouldn't complain.

For those interested the Poker Room has reopened. 5 tables open at 4PM Friday. They say more tables will reopen as they hire dealers. Every seat occupied.
