I fired up BDPW today and ran the default game for 'DOUBLE JACKPOT
POKER'. It gave a return of 99.62%. That seemed a bit high, so I
started trying to see if that made sense. When I add up the percent
of bet numbers in the 'Analyze Game' screen, I expected them to add
up to the same 99.62%, but they did not. They added up to something
quite a bit less. Then I tried to define this game in the user
defiend games. When I did this, I got a noticablly lower number and
the sum of the return of bet numbers matched the game return number
I was expecting. All in all, there is clearly something very much
wrong, but I am not quite sure if it is the program or me. I do see
that the paytable in DJP puts a '*' by the Aces and the K-J quads.
What does that mean? Is that some extra payout that is not listed
in the paytable, but is part of the game?
Hi, QZ!
I just duplicated what you said you did. My version of WinPoker has no
asterisks by any of the quads in the default Double Jackpot Poker game. The return
is 99.6274%, and the % of Ret column adds up to 99.63%. Variance is 22.39195.
I then defined a new game, with the same paytable as DJP. Got the exact same
return and the exact same sum for the % of Ret column, plus the exact same
variance.
I don't know what the asterisks mean in your paytable. Have you tried
clicking on Set To Default? Maybe you or someone else had previously changed the
paytable in that game, and didn't set it back to the default paytable? Just
guessing here.
My version of WinPoker is 6.0.5.
