Sometimes time can be your friend

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Nice car, but the hybred version kills it for me. Just can’t get my arms around partial or all electric cars. By the time the ones I enjoy are off the road, I will be history or playing VP with a little hand held machine in my wheelchair like the one I got for my mom about 20 years ago. It only had JOB, but I remember how thrilled she was when she hit a Royal with it one day. By the way it’s a proven fact that video poker wards of dementia to some extent

As expected. Nice hit on your favorite game today. Only 42% of yours, but I bet that he enjoyed his hand pay regardless.

Is that a 95.5% (base) pay schedule? I can't make out the progressive amount, but it would need to be a big one!

It’s 1/1/2/3/4/5/20/40/100/200/500. So, you tell me. And yes, Progressive. He got five tens for $2,000. Nice math there! :lol:

It's a $2 machine, so base royal would be $8000. I can't see the exact progressive amount, but there's a dollar-sign and four figures before the decimal. I'll assume $9998:

Below 96%. On a $2 game.

The quad pay is nice, but the full house and flush pays are horrific.

Brutal. He obviously wasn’t shopping around! These gamblers, so foot loose and fancy free.

Yikes. Good for them, but I wouldn’t touch that paytable even with Covid gloves on. That’s why casinos get away with it. People are too hi dense to stay away.

I was having such bad luck. I wanted to slow down and document that someone on the bank was actually lucky. I was just on the wrong side. It preceded my big hit twenty minutes later, and I only had to scoot over one. Bonus hits are a real incentive to surrender EV.

My best guess through video manipulation is 8504.11, maybe 8304.11 or 8804.11.

You needn't surrender EV to get bonus hits (remember 9/5 Super Double Bonus). You have to surrender 2 pair payout, maybe more.
