What is the original Bonus Poker game?

Post by bobbob »

The one with all the different quad payouts like Aces 2's, 3's, and 4's or just the 175 credits for all 4oak. Just curious, which one is better?

Pretty sure the original version had the varying payouts.

On the original, I calculate an average quad pay of 164.5 coins, assuming an 8/5 pay schedule.

So 175 for all is an improvement. But you may also find 150 for all, which should generally be avoided.

Here are the possible EVs for 8/5 Bonus Poker:

- all quads pay 175, 99.66%
- quads pay 400/200/125, 99.17%
- all quads pay 150, 98.48%

Here the best was 99.17 and they dumped it over ten years ago. I won’t play the lower version. 7/5
