Yes, if dealt 4,4,A,10,6 and you only hold the pair of fours a major error alert pops up.

For the 22A, 33A, 44A part, I'll get back later on that since I do not have VPW in front of me right now.



I can confirm that it does list it on the strategy as

"Low Pair Kicker" 23rd entry out of 58 total

Yes, if dealt 4,4,A,10,6 and you only hold the pair of fours a major error alert pops up.

Nearly 0.75 coin mistake, definitely considered major.

You da man, Alpax. Amazing, but true


Armed with the strategy. I gave it a shot today. Just over $100 in, this hit.

Also amazing, (and unfortunately true) is how much of a vacuum this game can be. I played 2 hours and only won $360. Managed to get quad jacks dealt and hit a quad seven.

Besides the 10/trips and 15/straights all of the 3 to a flush holds really cut down on the high pair winners. A win is a win, but man what a roller coaster.

Despite the result at the end, outstanding hit PPP!

Vman deserves credit since I would have never looked into the low pair + ace kicker holds if it was never mentioned. It surely paid off there!

That is also a strategy hold for Bonus Deuces Wild, I only hit that once during practice. 1 in 1081 shot like 3 to the Royal, but far more opportunities in TTB.

Glad I can help, keep on winning!

This game has higher variance than TDB, but I did see it was possible (1.35% occurence with perfect play on 9/6 TDB) to lose $500 in 2 hours.

4000 credit win once out of 5794 is the trade off.

My first 5 Aces at Bonus Deuces Wild at quarters was actually from 22A. I did it because strategy told me to. Would have I done it otherwise...ummmm...

Edit: Staring at the great hit again...that's not a bad game to 1 coin either for those that want thrill on a budget. Everything pays correct for 1-4 coin except the royal (98.64% optimal). Triple Double Bonus is NOT typically like this.

Yikes for sure. Only 3 quads in 2 hours with the speed cranked up. Then again, it is hard to say I "ran bad" with a 4000 hit.

When I took the pic I was just over $100 in. You can faintly see my club points -10. At $20 per point, my first $100 only lasted just over $200 coin in.

Without knowing the stategy, I don't think I would have, considering the 1081 odds against. It cuts the quad odds drastically. Ummmm is right.

Tried again yesterday with a strict limit of $200 and one hour. Hit a 400 and a couple of 250s but not enough and busted out.
