Here's my rule of thumb for games such as JB, BP, DB, DDB, etc:
- add the values for Flush and Full House payouts in the "Fullpay" version
ie - 69 JB = 15, 58 BP = 13, 7-10 DB = 17
- compare these values to the offered game, and deduct 1.1% for every unit below
the
fullpay version.
This gives, for example
- 99.54% minus 2.2% for 5-8 JB
- 99.16% minus 1.1% for 5-7 BP
- 100.17% minus 1.1% for 7-9 DB
- 100.17% minus 2.2% for 6-9 DB (IF the straight still pays 5 units).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Expected return 8/5 Jacks progressive
BLavoie's estimate of 98.3% is very good. Winpoker calculates the return of 8/5
JoB with a 5900 coin royal at 98.3253%.
From: Barry Glazer <b.glazer@...>
Traveling; I have access to 8/5 jacks or better with
progressive for royal by
suit; progressives are at 4400, 4800, 6000, and 8400 coins,
approx., for the
respective suits (which suits get which progressive doesn't
matter, of course,
until you hit one of them).
Can anyone calculate the expected return on a machine
with these four jackpots?

You are correct - the average royal payout is 5900 coins.
At 4000 coins the RF is worth about 2% of the payback. Add 1% > more for the RF
bonus.
BUT - 8/5 vs 9/6 costs you 2.2%.
This game's ER is about (99.54% plus 1.0% minus 2.2%) =
98.3%.
