The game returns about 104.3% based on RF of 12600 coins. However, the
RF accounts for about 8% of the return under optimal play -- making it
a money-loser (game returns about 96%) until you hit the RF.
I never understood why the casino pairs a 8/5 JOB with a 8/5 BP -- even
if I didn't know the correct strategy for 8/5 BP, using the 9/6 JOB
strategy is still far superior for the 8/5 BP than 8/5 JOB,
respectively.
If I was the slot supervisor in Nugget, I would change the 8/5 JOB to
the standard 8/6 JOB with quads at 130 coins for max bet -- this way,
both game have similar returns. Plus, there is no strategy
modifications between 8/6 JOB and 9/6 JOB, respectively.
