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?

Texas Station has the 9/6/5 version of Double Bonus Poker Plus on all 28 of the over-100% payback machines. These also have the 15/10 version of Super Bonus Deuces Wild.

These have just been added to the Texas Station database.

Thanks for checking this game at Texas Station. I looked at several
(not all) Optimum machines in Green Valley Ranch, but found no Double
Bonus Plus games.

For those interested in Bob Dancers suggested adjustments to standard
DB strategy, go to the site below and page down to his Feb 01, 2005
article.

As for the 100.08% return, as he points out, it's only approximate
because our software can't compute it (or couldn't in Feb 2005). So
it may be somewhat higher or lower than 100.08%. And we don't know
the variance either.
