Is that an error in the paytable? You actually get paid 5 credits for a high pair right?

And nice hit! I have yet to do this with a kicker I think, but have pulled 4 Aces from just one though. It's moments like this that remind you Ace > Ace + Face.

Isn't it nice when that happens.  About one of the few surprises a seasoned VP player can have.  The single ace totally disarms you of any expectation of having a quality outcome and then out of nowhere 4A's or a Royal.  Have had it happen on both. More interesting to me is the Keno integrated into the machine.  just love it.  My friend and I have invented quite a few casino improvements.  I wanted BJ tables to have VP machines in front of you.  My friend wants them to install tubes in front of all the machines for relieving yourself and not having travel to the mens room.  I told him his idea just wasn't going to fly, but we always joke. How about a VP machine with VP,  BJ, Roulette, a small window with the horse races, adult movies and CNN.  What else could we put in there? Roveer

I often am playing one-handed with a drink in the other. And I can still push 1000 hands/hr on a Game King.    I don't need anything else to speed me up...lol

Converting one ace to aces-with-a-kicker on your next hand happens between 1-in-14864 (if you had no kickers in the original hand) and 1-in-19818 (if you threw away three kickers) --- if you're playing single-line. On Triple Play the numbers are (approximately) three times as large.Displaying a picture when it DOES happen in no way changes the odds for hitting it next time. Holding a single ace is frequently the correct play in TDB. Many players, however, overhold aces --- perhaps from A9877 because they "never" fill in sevens. It was definitely a nice hit --- but don't let that hit convince you to deviate from appropriate play.The 1-coin return on Jacks or Better sure looks suspicious. That changes a 99.58% game (before considering the Keno aspect) to an 85.02% game with LOTS of strategy modifications. Using normal TDB strategy on this is a terrible mistake. Perhaps they have to do that to make the Keno part of the game work out --- but unless players change their strategy to play it this game will definitely overhold for the casino.Bob

That 1 coin return may be an oversight that has somehow not been mentioned until now. Upon playing the game, it pays out 5 for Jacks or Better at max bet (but shows 1 on the chart). I will determine which is correct and we will make sure the game is corrected appropriately on the site.
