GeeeeezLook doris, why dont you call up IGT and ask them point blank:  "When did you guys distribute Triple Bonus as a game option on your typical game selection menus? "   you apparently want to REALLY show me that I am totally wrong and that it was some other game I witnessed.I definitely remember playin g Triple Bonus Poker during the 2005 travesty of a World Series when the Houston Astros lost four straight to the White Sox.   And I definitely remember playing Triple Bonus Poker on New Years Day 2006 when I hit a bunch of Quads in a short period of time at the Orleans in Vegas and won about 500 bucks on a 25 cent denom game.Of course, unlike tedlark, I can admit that I might be mistaken, but I know my friend hit 1200 credits on a 25 cent machine....so can anyone else remember OTHER Possible games that paid off 1200 credits for four Aces????    Maybe Triple Bonus Poker had a early cousin that was named a different game????    I know a lot of people today mistake White Hot Aces for Triple Bonus Poker due to very similar paytables.......

  DaBurglar just for further developing my conversational skills may I be so bold as to ask why, in your opinion; the 2005 Major League Baseball World Series was such a travesty? I'm hoping that you didn't go so far as to paint your face Houston Astro's colors and wear a multi-colored crazy wig?   Just for disclosure: I have a bright yellow Pittsburgh Steelers foam finger from the 1970's and an original Terrible Towel but they are stuffed in a box somewhere.

if triple bonus was around in 2005,i'm sure it would have been a new game and more likely to be in a casino than a 7-11

I always assumed Triple Bonus was an old game. It's not very easy to find today. I find "Triple Bonus Plus" or "White Hot Aces" much more often. I know full-pay "White Hot Aces" coindroppers still exist in Tunica at Fitzgerald's. So I assume those games probably aren't very new either.

According to this article, Triple Bonus been around since at least Sept. 6th, 1999.

What's sad is the return percentages he lists in the article are ALL WRONG. They are 96.87% for Bonus, 96.38% for DB, and 99.94% for TB, respectively. With that in mind, I wouldn't trust his risk of ruin calculations without quads with a ten-foot pole. But I think I trust him enough to correctly report the date.


And this is one of the earliest articles I could find on "Triple Double Bonus, July 10, 2001. At least he gets the payback right to the nearest tenth at least...
