How do you count close calls to Royal Flush?

Wow. I am dumbfounded. I thought I was the only person interested in this matter.

Specifically the two games I play are 9-6 job with RF, SF, and 4oak progressives and 10-6 dw with RF progressive. $.50 or $1 denom. Single line.

Winstar and Choctaw in OK

Hmmm … What specifically does the 10-6 refer to in 10-6 Deuces Wild? If you had said 10-6 DDB, I would have thought you might have been referring to a slightly positive game (10 per coin for full house and 6 per coin for flush, if the per-coin straight flush was 50). But I'm not too sure what deuces pay schedule you could be meaning by using the name "10-6."

hey new2vp, are you sure you are new to video poker ?? impressive most impressive !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, AP. I was new to video poker at one time. You might be able to tell that I joined the forum at this website some 13 years ago. Even then, I knew most of my multiplication tables.

My guess is he meant 16/10.

Good point!

Yeah, Winstar has "Not So Ugly Ducks" (NSUD) progressives, which is 16/10. Pretty amazing, tbh.

Consider a hand that included king-ten-four of the same suit with an off-suit three- seven.

There are games (Jacks or Better) where it is right to hold KT.

There are games (Bonus Poker) where it is right to hold just the K --- here a royal is impossible if you make the correct play.

There are games (9/6 DDB) where it is right to hold KT4 --- here a royal is also impossible.

My point is that each game will have it's own "four to the royal" calculation.

I have one KT hold royal. It came on NSUD.
