Thanks all. FAA….The 800/940 for bet one up here are only available on various All Star machines and only on certain games in Spin Poker. The highest tables I can find are 98.8 on Bonus Deuces Wild and 98.44 on Joker Kings.

So are your 800/940:1 98.4 to 98.8? I see zero wrong with my tables, except that I’m a habitual short coin player and I hate getting severely RF shorted.

Yes. No 800 for bet one on 99.54. But playing 5 quarters usually doesn’t bust the budget. Best Deuces is 98.91 quarters, but need to bet 5 quarters. For some reason, I rarely do well on JOB.

Okay. So that would marginally bump that 99.54 I assume? I could abide that for awhile. But I don’t do well on JOB over the long haul either. And I’d be bored to tears in the bargain. No interest in deuces play.

Ever try Joker Kings? One of my favorite games. Variance is higher than JOB, but less than DDB. Similar to Deuces Wild as to the variance. Only 98.44 though if you have one that pays 17 for a quad. I like it because long term a quad appears every 118 hands instead of 424. So as to quads, you get 3.59 times more quads than JOB which means you get paid 61 in Joker ( 17x 3.59 ) for every 25 in JOB. The downside of course is getting paid less for a full house and flush in Joker Kings. The bigger hits though are good. You can look at them in the Wizard of odds paytable. Joker Kings is very conducive to Martingale Clone hoping of course for quads close together. Then the bonus hands will give you an almost guaranteed win for the session if you catch one before the bankroll gets too low. In order, Royal, Five of a kind, Wild Royal, straight Flush. Also the 940 for bet one for the Royal is a nice bonus. Some machines only pay 800 for one.

Nothing on tap with Bizarro till late Monday evening. The grass and garden won’t wait. I just do the bull work with the garden and the Mrs handles the TLC. In the meantime, I’ll practice a little Joker Kings on this site using the Clone. I just took a peek at my Royal count for the year. It stands at 16, but many were non hand pays. Still not enough to get me even for the year. As usual, Discipline needs a bit of polish. Within a percent or two error, I am running a Royal every 56,000 hands so I’m below the roughly 40,000 norm somewhat. Actually, for Joker Kings, it should hit once every 38,462 hands long term, so at the moment I am behind pretty good on Royals.

Good luck to you on Monday night, olds. You still have more royals than me for the year so far but I'm killing it with AWAK's though.
