Bonus Deuces Wild

#1

Sometimes games have more than one hand paying a progressive. (usually all
resets are at the normal value of the hand.)
I do not get to LV often but I would guess that the following progressives
could be on a bonus deuces game.
1. RF
2. 4 deuces + ace
3. 4 deuces with no ace
4. 5 aces
5. 5 twos, threes or fours
6. 5 of a kind (other)

This idea is fairly common on short pay BP, DB or DDB.

Many years ago I played a Bally game at Bullwhackers in Blackhawk CO (I
think this now may be Fitzgeralds.)
that was very unusual. The first four coins played like normal 8-5 JOB.
Playing 5 coins however, the straight, trips and two pair only paid as if
four coins were played but progressives were used for all hands of flush or
better. The starting values were much higher than normal for all these
hands except the royal which started at $1,000 on this quarter bank. (I
think the other starting values were FL=$12.50, FH=$20, 4K=$50 and SF=$100
but it was almost ten years ago that I am not sure.)

By the way, what is a "6-way"? I had been assuming you were talking
about a multi-play game, like 3-play, 5-play, 10-play, etc., but I have
never heard of a "6-way" or even a "6-play".

Thanks.

I'm going to see about one in CA, but only prog. on top 3 hands.
(RF, 2s + A, 2s-no Ace). Are there many "Bonus" DW players out
there? How do they like the game compared with NSUD?

The only other multi-prog games I have played are Bonus poker,
with prog. on 4Ks and higher.

A long-looooooooooong time ago, Excalibur had a 6-coin prog 9/6 JB
game (similar to the Frontier's .25 game) with prog on 4Ks and higher.
It was only a 'nickel' game, but from playing it, I learned how much
that extra coin cost. Fortunately I nabbed a SF for $50 (for .30c
bet). Progs. are good when you hit those prog. jackpots, but
otherwise have a bigger drain in short term.
