Just thought I'd through this out there as a warning.
I went to a bar over the weekend which had IGT bartop machines. I went with
friends and I was playing video poker to pass the time away. I knew it was
going to be bad walking into the place. I searched for JoB and saw they
didn't have it, and so I settled for Bonus Poker. I fully expected to be
playing 6/5 Bonus Poker.
Well, it was 6/5 Bonus sure enough. I'm not a pro or a serious player and,
like I said, and I was stuck at the bar because that's where my friends
were.
Well I'm playing and playing and I hit quad queens. But then I noticed
something strange - it paid 150 coins. I looked at the paytable, and the 6/5
Bonus Poker table was actually worse than 6/5 Bonus Poker - ALL of the quads
paid 30 per coin! 2s, 3s, 4s, and aces, all paid 150 on max bet instead of
the customary bonus amount!
I'm no VP expert but I haven't seen anything like this so I thought I'd just
share. I don't know if similar pay tables exist for 7/5 BP or 8/5 BP but
it's worth remembering to check the other numbers as well, I guess.
