Agressive Paytables

Post by pokeherguy »

Faygo brought up the topic concerning agressive paytables and since I have no idea what would be considered "agressive" I'll leave it to everyone to decide if this would qualify:
Jacks or Better              Bonus Poker              Double Bonus Poker
.25=(45-25-20)             .25=(40-25-20)          .25=(45-30-20)
1$&2$=(45-25-20)        1$&2$=(40-25-20)     1$&2$=(45-35-25)
$5=(40-30-20)               5$=(35-25-20)           5$=(45-30-20)
 
 
 
DDB Poker                     Dueces Wild               Joker Poker
.25=(45-25-20)              1$&2$=(20-15-10)    1$&2$=(35-25-15)
1$&2$=(45-30-20)         5$=(20-15-10)           5$=(40-25-15)
5$=(45-25-20)
 
 
Super DDB
1$&2$=(30-25-20)
5$=(40-25-20)

You've given the 5-coin payouts for these games and most of the information you will see goes by the 1-coin payouts. That's why you will see 9/6 JOB, which refers to a FH paying 9 and a flush paying 6 for each coin bet. The most aggressive returns you might typically see are:
 
JOB - 9/6
BP - 8/5
DB - 10/7
DDB - 9/6 (although 10/6 is becoming available in more places)
Deuces - Not defined by FH and FL. FPDW is 800/200/25/15/9/5/3/2/2/1
Jokers - Kings or Better is defined by 4oak and FH payouts (20/7)
 
Keep in mind that the entire paytable should be viewed to determine whether it matches one that interests a person. Occasionally you will see changes to other pay lines.

Well as you can see then I have no sense when it comes to paytables. I was hoping it might help faygo since the subject of paytables was brought up concerning the subject. I don't know to many people who play less than max bet regardless of the denomination they choose so I took for granted that would be the most important. To tell you the truth the paytables seem the same at all the casinos I have visited in this area. Some casinos just seem to to payout a little better than others. Of corse that idea is only based on my personal playing history and observations over the years.

The payout is entirely based on the pay tables. Of course, we will all see variation between games, machines and casinos. This is normal random fluctuation. For example, this summer I have 7 RFs in one casino and no RFs in another casino playing the exact same game. Even in the one casino I have three of the RFs on one machine, two on another machine and one on a couple of others. I play over a dozen machines at that casino alone.
 
The number of hands it takes to average out is significant. For some game it can take over a million hands. Since none of us will play a million hands on every machine or even every casino, we will see these kind of natural variations.
