Hi all. My local Casino has introduced a couple of new machines that are multi-line & multi-way. Only for nickel/dime or quarter but with 10-play it can add up quick. I like the nickel 10x max for $2.50 a play.
My gut feeling is that this game is very beatable but I can't figure how to build it into my WinPoker.
It pays as follows:
RF- 10,000
SF- 1,200
4 Aces- 2,000
4 2/3/4- 1,000
Quads- 500
FH- 90
FL- 75
ST- 40
Trips- 20
2Pair- 15
9's plus- 10
Does somebody have an easy way to get a %, hopefully near the 99.97% for regular Pick-em?
Thanks,
George
Pick'em Dbl-Bonus %'s???

I get around 96.8% using standard pickem strategy (no adjustment for higher paying quads). However, I doubt any strategy adjustments are going to make a big difference. The big problem is the substantial drop in the payout for a straight.
To get this number I just averaged out the quads (730) and input the other values into winpoker.

As always, Shadowman's instincts are accurate. The computer-perfect EV is 96.7973% vs. the 96.7779% that you can get by using 730 as the quad payout in WinPoker. And both of those round to Shadowman's advertised 96.8%.
Certainly the minute difference in no way changes the playability of this game.
