Double Bonus Poker Plus

#1

I was unfamiliar with this game until I saw it yesterday in Don
Laughlins Riverside. It's not new ... Bob Dancer evaluated it in Feb
2005 in a column ... but relatively uncommon. There were two posts
in March this year saying DBPP is on several Optimum Play machines in
Texas Station. I thought I'd mention it here because my guess is
many members are unfamiliar with the game and the unique features of
the payschedule. The game I saw has this pay schedule:

4000 RF
250 SF
2000 4 Adjacent Aces
800 4 Adjacent 2,3,4's
800 4 Aces
400 4 2,3,4's
200 4 5-K's
45 FH
30 F
20 ST
15 3ofK
5 2Pair
5 1Pair

The unique feature is the "Adjacent" quads. Dancers article explains
how to adjust the playing strategy based on this feature. I found a
game by this name in the VPfree database, but with different returns
than the estimates in Dancers article (below).

9/6/5 - 100.08 percent
10/6 - 99.76 percent
9/6/4 - 98.67 percent
9/5 - 97.57 percent

Anybody know what the Texas Station payschedule is?

The game is available at the Tuscany with the below pay schedule. At
99.76%, it makes the game the best available at that casino. There
are 3 MG/MD machines which mention the game on the glass in the 2nd
row past the 2 ticket redemption machines by the Cantina Mexican
Restaurant on the side of the bank facing the doors to the valet area.
The machines have 25c, 50c, and $1 denominations, but I forgot to
check if the below schedule is available at all 3 levels.

4000 RF
250 SF
2000 4 Adjacent Aces
800 4 Adjacent 2,3,4's
800 4 Aces

In my last post about Double Bonus Poker Plus at the Tuscany, I wasn't
sure at what denominations the good game was available. The good
paytable mentioned for DB+ is available at 25c/50c/$1; at 5c/10c
the paytable is FH-9 and FL-5 instead of 10/6. Also, I found another
good game at the Tuscany. They have Deuces and Joker Wild available
at full pay at denominations of 25c/50c/$1 (schedule below) with an EV
of 99.07%. There are 2 MG/MD machines near the restrooms on the
Cashier side of the casino with games.

5 Wilds - 10,000
RF - 4000
4 Deuces - 25
Wild Royal - 12
5K - 9
SF - 6
4K - 3
FH -3
FL - 3
ST - 2
3K -1
