How Much is Royal Worth?

Post by FloridaPhil »

My software says standard 9/6 Jacks is a 98.373% game.  If a Royal w. 5 coins paid only 1250 coins instead of 4000, how would that change the percentages?  In other words, how much does a 4000 coin Royal add to the total payback?  I'm trying to figure out the difference between playing 9/6 Jacks w. one coin vs. 7/5 & 8/5 Jacks with 5 coins.  Thanks!

The standard return of 9/6 job is 99.54% at full coin. Sounds like you computed it at one coin. Clearly you'd do better playing one coin vs. the other two paytables.
