Hollywood Casino St. Louis

[Lseven]

If anyone visits this casino I would like them to verify a paytable for me. At the bar closest to the main pit area there was a Joker Poker progressive at the quarter level with this paytable I think?

Royal-progressive
5 of a kind-4000
joker royal-500
strt fl-250
4 of a kind-75
fh-35
fl-25
strt-15
3 of a kind-10
2pr-5
kings or better-5

If this is a K or better game, I would think this would be a positive EV game.

                             Thanks for any help

God I wish it was that...lol I still need to update this to VPFree2 too...I'm lazy. I initially sent an update a long time ago, but it got ignored and I kept not rewriting it. I'll send one next week as I'll be stopping by there anyway I think.

This is what the paytable actually looks like:



So most of the paytable is even a little better than you listed...except all one pair hands are losers.   

It's still the best bartop game they have though:
$1000 Royal: 98.59%
Breakeven Point: $1741 Royal
Return of Machine in the picture (taken Dec. 2013): 100.83%

Unfortunately the hand pictured was the best hand I hit, and I took a rapid beating to the tune of $260 that night.    In ~10 or so return visits, I don't think I have seen the royal above $1600.

The next best bartops they have (return before Royal progressive):

10/8 Super Bonus Deuces Wild: 97.87%
6/5 Super Aces Bonus: 97.78%

Thanks for the reply Vman, I usually check paytables when I am getting a beer. I figured that paytable was 2 good 2 be true for K's or better Joker Poker

I do on occasion. Nice selection at both Ameristar and Hollywood, imo.
