I see these machines (the full-pay 99.17% version) occasionally pop-up on
a progressive with a higher EV than 9/6 JOB.
I have always played a 9/6 strategy.
Is this correct?
The simple answer is no. It depends on how you as a player want to define
correct. What might be close enough for you will not be acceptable to
others. Here is the chart I made to help my wife keep the differences
straight for the non progressive games.
9-6 JOB VS 8-5 BP
IN JOB 3 STFL OPEN 0 HI > ANY 2 CARD ROYAL
IN JOB (8JQ), (9JK), (9QK), > AK(QJ)--IN BP, ONLY (8JQ) IS > AK(QJ).
IN JOB (TJ) > JK--IN BP JK> (TJ).
IN JOB (TJ) EVEN w ST & FLU PEN > JA--IN BP JA > (TJ).
IN JOB (TQ) >QA--IN BP QA > (TQ).
IN JOB 3 STFL 1 HI 2 GAPS & 0 HI 1 GAP > JQ > (TJ)
& IN BP JQ > (TJ) > 3 STFL 1 HI 2 GAPS & 0 HI 1 GAP *.
*- EXCEPT (7TJ) > (TJ)
IN JOB (78J) > JQK-- IN BP JQK > (78J).
IN JOB (JQ) > (JQ)KA--IN BP (JQ)KA > (JQ).
IN JOB KT w FLU PEN > K ONLY IF NO 9 ST PENALTY & BP IF YOU HAVE ANY FLU PEN TO KT, HOLD K ONLY.
When you get to the progressive version of an 8-5 BP game, there are a number of changes that you can make as the royal meter rises. On progressive games where the base return game starts in negative territory, I try and be as anally accurate as I can. This might not be for everyone, but I am hoping to squeeze all that I can from the game. I play a fair amount of 8-5 BP progressive on triple play with the fourth meter bonus for a dealt royal. The chart that I am going to try to paste here is for that game, so the dollar strike figures are for what the three royals total up to. So as not to appear a complete freak, I did round up the figures to the next highest $5 increment. The chart should be pretty self explanatory. One thing I will point out that I tried to be consistent on was that if only one of the two hands being compared consisted of suited cards, I used ( ) on the suited cards. If both that were being compared had only suited cards, I left the ( ) off. If anyone has questions or spots an error ( I have been known to make my share), let me know. Unfortunately, I think that coming soon to a casino near you, these types of games may be all that we will have left to play.
