Interesting JOB Pay Table

Post by Lucky Larry »

Happened to notice an interesting pay table at Isle this past week. The 9/5 JOB pay table for the Royal was paying 250, 600, 1200, 2000 and 4000 for 1-5 coin. I've played these 100 play machines for two years and hadn't noticed this different pay out for a royal. The other hands are all correct. Later when I checked the other machines they had the same pay table.

My software doesn't allow me to run this variant. Can someone run it for me?

4000 for the 5-coin royal is still going to be the best.250 per coin300 per coin400 per coin500 per coin800 per coin

For a close estimate you can take the ratio of the RF return and apply it to the 2% that a RF provides overall for JOB. For example, for 3 coins the ratio is 400/800 which is 1/2. So, this one is easy ... the RF is reduced by 1/2 of 2% or 1% of the total return. Just subtract that from the return of 9/5 JOB.

Sure it does. If it is 250 for one coin, figure it out with a 1250-for-5-coins royal
 
If it is 600 for 2 coins, that's 300 for 1 coin, so figuire it out with a 1500-fof-5-coin royal
 
Etc.
