power quads video poker

[littleray]

Any information on the power quads video poker? Heard about it but cannot find any casinos that have the game. Interested in Las Vegas, NV, Louisiana or Mississippi area

It's definitely not in Tunica.

what exactly is POWER QUADS?    

[Vman96]

It's a game available on newer Game Kings where they use your player's card account to keep track of which ranks of quads you have made. When you make all 13 ranks of quads, you get a bonus ranging from 500 to 2000 credits.

I have actually never seen this game offered anywhere yet.

I have actually never seen this game offered anywhere yet. ok, well thanks for that info, but I must admit, this is exactly the type of ...."gimmick"...that makes me uneasy with respect to the continued evolution of video poker.....that's all I will say, I will leave it to the rest of the forum to comment on their own views, and to interpret my "unease" in whatever fashion they deem appropriate.

Was just up at the Lodge Casino in Blackhawk Colorado. They had 4 machines. It did not use my player's card account - I had to set up a user name and 4 digit pin using a virtual keyboard that comes up on the screen - but it took less than a minute to do that. They only had 3 games installed  - 9/6 Double Bonus, 9/5 DDB and 8/5 TDB at the .25, .50 and $1 level.I played about an hour and hit 3 different 4oak's at the .25 level. The 4oak's carry over to all games. Interesting concept. I will play it the next few visits and report back.

9/6/5 Double Bonus, or 9/6/4? If it's 9/6/4 DB, then 9/5 DDB is the best game by a mile. How much is the bonus for completing it? If it's 2000 credits, they might be breaking state law in a good way...*coughs*

I don't mind having something like this. Does it cost extra coins in order to activate the bonus? I guess if it didn't cost anything, I could see myself playing it. I wouldn't really be concerned about getting a specific four of a kind, I would just play normally and when I did get the bonus for obtaining all the ranks, it would be like a built in bonus I wasn't expecting.

I saw this game demoed at the Southern Gaming Summit in Biloxi this year. I have not seen it in any casino that I have visited.
