Double Down Stud - Best Machines?

#1

Here are the listing criteria, as found on all DataBase index pages:

The DataBase lists :

1. ALL positive VP games in a casino

2. 9/6 JoB games

3. The best games available, if a particular casino doesn't have
any positive games.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In addition, greater than 99% games and some progressives
that are brought to my attention are often listed.

However, I wouldn't recognize a playable Double Down Stud
paytable if it ran over me.

Since some of these are full-pay games, and many more are > 99%,
shouldn't they be added as a category by the VP Casino monitors?

Bob Dancer's article on the new DDS machines is here,
http://www.igtproducts.com/igtproducts/VideoPoker/DDStud.pdf
on the IGT website.

The paytable, with percentages, is on page 2.

Let me revise my earlier question: Can anybody even tell us *where*
Double Down Stud machines are located, beyond the ones I already
mentioned?

I can't help with location, but it would be my guess, judging from the
fact that there hasn't been other than a seldom occurring passing
discussion of the game, that paytables are uniformly mediocre. FWIW.

As the article states slot club benefits and Cash Back are often what
makes this game playable. The infrequency of the Royal Flush made
this game playable at the Colorado Central Station when it was on a
Progressive bank, the Royal would get up to $20,000 , with the chances
Bob Dancer stated in the article at one in 650,000. I didnt know
enough ten years ago to calculate when this game was positive but I
did know enough that cash back, food credits and free drinks made this
a good play when the Royal got that high. Often the seats were filled
with the first 8 people through the doors when the horn sounded,
(Colorado casinos close from 2am to 8 am, and a horn sounds when
gambling is legal again at 8am. in Black Hawk, Colorado.

Lets get some Royals... Beachstu

DDS is not a game I play, but I can tell you that the Orleans has a
bank of DDS machines that always seem to have players in the seats.
There is a progressive on those machines, but maybe the paytable is at
least tolerable.
