Jackpot Aces

#1

I think I may have written about this video poker game before on vpFREE. It's a game I found about 8 years ago. It's an oddball single joker two pair game based on the Aces. It's a two coin quarter game so you are just betting 50 cents. I analyzed this game about 8 years ago and once I analyze a game and find an edge I can quickly forget a lot of the math of the game. At one time I had this game on a couple dozen machines. Its 8 years later and I'm down to 2 machines in one location. I've put this game up in a few forums and wrote about it right off the top of my head. Then realized my memory wasn't as sharp as I thought it was. I got the payback all wrong. But it's in the neighborhood of 113% to 114%. The game is called Jackpot Aces. Here's what the money odds on the 50 cent bet look like:

5 Aces............................................1600
Royal Flush......................................800
4 Natural Aces..................................300+ 1% meter
5 of a Kind........................................250
Natural Aces Full of Anything...........200+ 1% meter
Joker Royal......................................200
Straight Flush....................................50
4 of a Kind.........................................25
Regular Full House.............................9
Flush...................................................5
Straight...............................................4
3 of a Kind...........................................1
Two Pair...............................................1

The reason I'm putting this game up here is I'm challenging any and all elite gambling mathematicians to tell me I don't have a strong play. You won't find this game on the Wizard of Odds site. I had to do the math myself. And the game can't be fully analyzed by any software on the market today, although WVP was a big help. I started a thread on WoV about the game. I posted this payscale and even a screenshot of the game in the thread. Some people believe that Shackleford analyzed this game years ago and I'm just ripping off his work. But the question was asked "why is Jackpot Aces not in the list of video poker games on the Wizard of Odds site?" The answer is quite simple. The first time Shackleford ever seen the game was when I introduced it on Wizard of Vegas. I'm the person that found and analyzed this game first. This game is worth $64 to $70 an hour. I was the only person in the world to exploit this game for a lot of years. But new games came out and my hourly rate on those games is much higher than Jackpot Aces. So I taught the game to a friend of mine. I still play the game occasionally but not like I used to.

jjhtks2002 asked "what is the variance?"

It's a fifty cent bet. Who cares about the variance. LOL! WVP shows a variance of 48. But there are two hands that are not in the payscale, 5 Aces and Natural Aces Full of Anything. IT's definitely a top heavy payscale.

The worst session I ever had I was stuck $700 after seven hours of play. But I was back to even after nine hours and cashed out for the day. I didn't get to make any money that day which is rare. It's very hard to lose in an eight hour session. Only a blind person couldn't beat this game.

An interesting fact about this game is if you discount the 5 Aces, Royal Flush, 5 of a Kind and Joker Royal out of the payscale you are still at 107%. That's why it's so hard to have a losing day.
