FPDW is probably the best payback game between royals. Most games are less that 98%. OTOH, a long streak of missing quad deuces can get very expensive. Been there, done that.

That said, I can give an estimate ... assuming 600 hands/hour of $1 5-play 9/6 DDB ... your coin-in will be 600*5*5 = $15,000/hour ... 9/6 DDB pays back 99% over time with perfect play ... with perfect play you should expect to lose $150/hour over time.
 
Since DDB is a very volatile game you should probably win about 40% of the time you play a couple hour session of 5-play. If your session length is close to this and you play very accurately then you have been somewhat unlucky in losing 7 out of 8 sessions. This past week I never won a session (6) playing a game of similar volatility so it really isn't that unusual.
 OMG Shadowman, thanks for this info, as I said i just played VP rencently and been losing consistenly, normally I go to the casino with $2000-$3000 and playing $1/5 play/ DDB, sometimes I scored but mostly I went broke. Until now, I realized the expect lost and the bankroll I need for the session to give me a chance to Win; with your kindness info. and my research, I scored BIG 6 out 7 sessions. Thanks again Shawdowman and keep up the good work....
