Looks like multi-strike vp would be up your alley -- that game is max
volatility and max vacuum cleaner. As a VP game designer, I can alter
the game to give you max volatility or min volatility. However, at the
end of the day, the **average vp player** wants value for their money
be it entertainment time or excitement for hitting a sizeable jackpot
(which appears to be a fat quad in your case). IGT already turned down
my offer of Million Dollar jackpots for royal flushes (in multiplay
version, i.e. you will get 1 million credits at max play for a ten line
multiply game something NPlay can't do, even with Super Times Pay --
under 10 play, you get 40,000 coins for ten royal flushes and at 10X
STP, you get 400,000 coins -- my game gets you 1,000,000 coins no sweat
and you don't need ten royal flushes on all ten lines without any
multiplier. My game, in theory, can give you vp jackpots like
30,000,000 just like slot machines).
Btw, on $1 progressive 9/6 JOB, I've hit quads at over $220 (reset is
$125) and STFL's easily in the $700 range (reset value of $250) and RF
at $5,600+, etc. I hit that RF jackpot after hitting a STFL for $600
an hour earlier. Just the other night in a neighborhood casino, I took
down a quad jackpot at 39 for 1 (about $195) on a $1 8/5 JOB machine
(STFL were 100 for 1 at reset) within 30 hands. That game had a 1%
meter movement on the three jackpots and sizeable cash back, so it was
a no-brainer. I think at reset, this 8/5 JOB was about 97.8% and I
easily see the STFL get as high as $1,100 -- I recall the STFL was $950
for one bank and $670 for another bank that night.
In Reno area, you can find lots of JOB (maybe at 8/6 or 9/5 or 8/5 pay
table, etc) where they have progressive RF, STFL and quads
respectively. I like the machines in Peppermill (I believe it's 8/6
JOB) where even the Full House is progressive (and I treat the meter
movement as cash back on jackpots that I hit!). Boomtown has a bank of
progressive $1 8/5 Bonus Poker where the quad aces can reach $600 or
more (the breakeven quad aces is $612 with STFL & RF at reset values!).
Boomtown also has progressive quad aces on 8/5 BP at the $0.25 level so
you can cherry pick your machines.
Good luck.

Volatility is what can make a game fun and exciting. For those who
are not trying to make a living playing VP it is a reason to gamble a
few times per year. If casinos offered only low volatility games, I
probably wouldn't even gamble. Consider the difference between JOB
and DDB. Getting dealt 2 aces or even 1 ace) in JOB can at best
result in a 125 coin win (big whoop!), while in DDB there is the
potential for 2000. Wheel Poker gives that added excitement where a
dealt ace or 2 can result in a 4000 coin win and any 4oak can result
in a big win. Too bad Wheel Poker doesn't offer JOB...I just might be
able to find JOB interesting enough to play then.
