I've been trying to develop some models for myself for multiplay 9-4-4
Bonus Deuces (99.45%). However, I have not been able to find the
covariance of BDW. I've been away from the necessary math for WAY too
long.
Any help with the value would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
variance of n-play BDW is 32.66 + (n-1)*3.802.
for games i've looked at, covariance tends to be 10-12% of variance.
it's consistent enough that i generally don't bother computing it, i
just stick in some vaguely round figure in that range and worth with
that.
cheers,
five

That's probably true for games that uses E. Moody's patent (e.g. N-
Play, spin-poker, etc); the 10-12% number isn't true for IGT's other
multi-line video poker patents. I know this to be the case for one
patent since each line has no covariance with the other lines.

i was referring to n-play, which was what i believed the original
poster to be asking about.

are you talking about multistrike? if not, i'm curious what you're
referring to. a patent number would be fine, i'm not asking for any
sort of privileged information.
