Big Times Draw Poker

#1

Has anyone analyzed this game? Can't seem to find anything on wizardofodds or elsewhere, except what's on the IGT website and videopoker.com.

Basically, it's a multiplier-type game like Super Times Pay available in Triple/Five/Ten Play. The multiplier is activated by wagering 6-10 coins per hand and varies depending on the highest dealt card in the hand, excluding Aces. Betting 10 coins per hand yields the highest multipliers:

High
Card Multiplier
------- -------------
2, 10x
3, 9x
4-5, 6x
6-8, 5x
9-T, 3x
J, 2x
Q-K, 1x

The IGT site says the highest payout is 360,000 coins with a max bet of 100 coins. Hmmm....if Triple Double Bonus is offered, wouldn't dealt quad Aces+2 kicker on 10-play be 4,000x10x10 or 400,000 coins? So assuming TDB isn't offered, what hand would yield 3,600 coins per hand x10 hands=360,000? Also, couldn't you theoretically throw out quad 2's with an Ace and draw a royal on all 10 lines for a total win of 400,000 coins?

Videopoker.com shows that there are only 20 of these machines in
Nevada and 34 in the whole U.S. The two at the Wynn don't even have
the dollar denomination.

The game is highly addictive, but extremely dangerous.

I've been playing the $1 deuces 99.27% (4 2's w/A is 2000). You play
50 coins on the 5 play game instead of 25 and the multipliers are
supposed to make up the difference. So far I'm down over 10% on just
over $100,000. in play. I keep thinking about the time when I draw
four 2's with an ace and win $100,000!

I'm not sure I want anything to do with this game.
#1 - You need a gold membership to play at videopoker.com ( no thanks ! )
#2 - None are listed for the Reno area ( which is surprising )
