10's or better video poker

#1

I forgot a couple of notes. If you are using the "demo" of Winpoker you
will not be able to do what I suggested.
Another more important question is what the paytable looks like for the
tens or better game in the casino you are playing at.
If two pair pays 2 for 1 (and the FH = 6 and the FL =5) then you are
playing the game I discussed in the previous email.
If two pair only pays 1 for 1 (and the FH = 9 and the FL = 6) then this is
a total "sucker" game at about 90.9% return.
The reason I ask is that the good version is a rarely seen game these days
while the sucker version is sometimes seen as a 5c game
and possibly higher stakes on some Indian Reservations.

HEY MIKE - are you perhaps playing the Oregon State Lottery VP game 10's
or better ("Oregon Draw")? I think it has even another paytable. While all OR
Lottery VP games are "sucker" games, to use Howard's term, I sure would
like to have software that will analyze the myriad of pay tables (poor baby Mac
user- me)...

Anyhow, if it is, I'll pull out the paytables, I've got many of them written down
for "someday" analysis. The games I play (FOR FUN, yes) when visiting in
that state are Four-Leaf (DB-type paytable with $600 jackpot on a 25 cent
wager for the Ordered Royal) and Joker Bonus Poker, which has some
enticing 600-1 payoffs ($600 max) for Royals, 5-of-a Kinds AND (!) Wild
Royals. All games 1-to-8 quarters bet.

If anyone is into or interested in discussing OR State-run Lottery Games,
please e-mail me or we can take it to FreevpFree, as they're Probably WAY
less than full-pay (90-95% my est.) and maybe this isn't a good forum. They
are RNG honest anyhow. But they are training an influx of local addicts,
another topic for discussion...

I went & grabbed the Paytables for Oregon Draw:
OREGON DRAW
RF 600
SF 75
4K 25
FH 9
FL 6
Str8 4
3K 3
2Pr 1
Pr 10+ 1

It might be lower than Howard's "sucker" game which was at 90.9%.
Move up the SF draws on the stragedy chart (misspelling intended), due to
the 75-1 payout for SF's (> the normal 50-1), maybe that adds 1-2% to ER??
