MSS still does the scratch card thing, which is very cool.
My question is pretty well answered (and thank you), but what I was
specifically referring to was a club (casino) paying a
predetirmened
amount, for example, for 4 of a kind natural 6s, or 4 of a kind
natural 8s.
There are a couple points of significance when determining the
return. First, is whether they will pay this if it occurs in a 5 of
a
kind - and it seems they will, but that it could be club dependent.
Second, if it occurs in either a wild or natural game, 4 of a kind
or
5 of a kind, if you are paid twice (once by the machine, once by
the
attendant). The answer to that also seems to be club dependent.
All these options make it very difficult to program in a game, and
also for the user to input the necessary information, but that is
probably the casino's intent.

The best example I can use is the Reno Hilton several years ago.
They had an ongoing "Card of the Day" promotion and they had FPDW.
The Card changed everyday. It would be four 6's today, four Queens
tomorrow, etc. It paid $20.
So if I was playing FPDW on a day when the COD was Four Kings this is
what would happen when I hit Four Kings:
1. The machine would pay me for the Four Kings. (which is just 5
for 1 at FPDW)
2. I would have to stop playing and get the attention of an
attendant.
3. They would verify that I had Four Kings, write out a voucher with
my slot card number on it, have me sign it, then they would
personally hand me a twenty-dollar bill. They would also verify that
I played the hand off.
If I made Five Kings with only one deuce in the hand I got paid same
as above.
This is how it has worked every place I ever worked a COD promotion.
I've never had the machine itself pay the COD. But then it has been
quite awhile since I worked a COD.
