Based on my personal results, I sure wouldn't be looking to play this game in a casino, using real money.
 
Granted, I didn't play a lot of sessions, but many times, I struggled mightily to reach 5000, (often without success).
 
And, achieving 5000 represented a payback of only 83.3%!
 
To me, it seems that to play this game in a casino for any significant length of time, a person would either have to be quite lucky early on, or start with a huge bankroll.

 This game wasnt that bad. I played over 40 sessions and had 35 over 5000. Now granted it takes 6000 to break even. If I was playing this game for real money I would stick to plain old jacks or better.
   You cant discount the value of doubleling your money on 2 pair,and also getting 1000 for 4 of a kind on the extra action hands. I played a fair amount of the 2 games that paid 2x for 2 pair and did okay,not for tourney play but for money thats the ticket.

Perhaps I was being overly pessimistic about the game.
 
I looked at the scoring breakdown, but one significant (to me, anyway) statistic missing is the overall average score per session.
 
Is that number available?

[Webman]

If you only include complete sessions of 200 deals (which seems appropriate) then the average score was 5861.7738Considering how many people deliberately play a "contest strategy,"  I'm actually surprised that it's that high.
