8/5 Bonus potential shorting

#1

I received an e-mail from one of our members stating that the Bally's
8/5 Bonus in the hall of lost tribes only paid 20 for quad 5-K. I
won't be there this week, could someone confirm this for me (us)? I
hope it's not true, but I won't be surprised if it is. Thank you, -
Russ

And what about the 8/5 Bonus that have been reported as being in the
non-smoking section of the Sky casino ?

After further review, the ruling on the field was incorrect, the
paytables are in bounds (full pay for all quads). First Down. I
will be charged with my first time out. (God I miss football already)-

I do not really recommend this game. At 99.17%, your sacrificing too
much EV, playing at the lower 1/180 comp rate, and giving up something
on the more common flush & FH for rarer quads thereby increasing your
variance (which should be a factor for those who are sacrificing a
better paying dollar game for a quarter or 50-cent game). Also, since
the new games do not include Pick'Em, the casino would just love for us
to convert to it. Actions speak louder than words, and I would rather
we stay away from it, and show that we do not fall for the latest thing
on the block just because it is new. Furthermore, for those who are
used to touching the cards on the screen, those machines require
enormous reach.

Stevie,
Good talking point. Bonus poker is a loser at MS. By the way, I know
several pros in Vegas that play Bonus Poker. They are leveraging Free
Play and Cashback to make the game positive. Tough way to make a living.
