I happened to notice a game called "High Fives" at Isle of Capri in
Kansas City. This was on a nickel multi-game machine.
Does anyone know what a typical pay-table is for this game? I know
that trip-5's paid 25 coins and there was a bonus for quad 5's. I'd
like to run an analysis on it to get the ER and Strategy for it.

8-5 is full pay at 99.72%, 7-5 is 98.57% and 6-5 is about 97.42%.
A pair of fives is better the a four flush. Three fives are better than
a full house. I have not looked at this game for a long time as it is
not available in the Chicago Area anymore and I think that on the 8-5
version a pair of fives is better than some 3RF hands.
Stanford Wong's old software could be used to analyze this game.
WinPoker, Frugal Video Poker and VPSM cannot. I do not own Optimum VP
or Video Poker for Winners and do not know if either of those can
anaylze that game.

Hi Howard,
I saw this game at the Peppermill, in Reno, about 10 years ago. It
was located against a back wall, right near the old South Tower
elevators. There was exactly ONE single-line, single game, quarter
machine, called "High Five(s)". I can't remember if the "Five" was
singular or plural.
I never played the High Fives game as there was a FPDW right next
door! But, as I rememember the pay table, it was a basic 8/5 JOB
with bonuses on trip and quad fives. I thought that it was double
pay on fives; i.e 30 coins for trip fives and 250 coins for quad
fives. But perhaps my memory is faulty, and the pay off, while more
than normal trips or quads, was NOT doubled.
I mention this because, when I looked up the EV, after changing the
pay table on VPW, it was 128%!! (BTW, this is very easy to do on
VPW).
Additionally VPW gave the following info: trip fives occurs
approximately once in every 13 hands, and accounts for 45.6% of the
payback. Quad fives occurs approximately once in every 416 hands,
and accounts for 12.01% of the payback.
Because it is such a mind-boggling EV, I'm wondering if perhaps two
pair paid the same as a high pair. It has been TEN years or more,
since I've seen this machine, and I am also ten years older! ))O:
If anyone knows, please post. I am really curious now.

If I'm not mistaken, there is a game at Palace Station right in front
of the High Limit area that is "High Fives". I'm not sure if it is the
same thing as you're describing. I believe it is 8/5 JOB with a bonus
of getting 4 fives. The fives must have a picture card in the
equation. It must be like J5555 or 5555J. Same thing for Queen's,
King's and Aces. It can not have the picture card anywhere inside the
fives, such as 55J55. I'll take a look at it today or Thursday and let
you all know.
