Least volatile VP game.

It's been a long time since I've been to Las Vegas but I'll be going this year.
I'm looking for a few VP games to learn before then so any recommendations on
the least volatile games is appreciated.

Check out www.wizardofodds.com for the variance of different VP games.
Single line Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild would probably be good choices.
Check www.vpfree2.com for what VP games are available at your hotel.

If you don't mind traveling slightly off strip FPDW is the best and easiest non-volataile game.
Otherwise 9-6 JOB.

Thank you for the information, Kevin. I should be able to find what I'm looking
for on those sites.

I do not understand how you can say that FPDW is a non-volatile game.

Although it may be fun to play and is a positive play, almost 6% of the return is in the royal and four decues. If you don't get either in a session, then you are hurting. For me, that makes it a volatile game and you need to be adequately bankrolled.

Well it is less volatile than all these Super Duper, Triple Bonus, Super Times Pay that are constantly popping up.
Someone can provide the exact numbers. I still find FPDW to be the most enjoyable game out there-and a nice easy strategy whereas something like 10/7 DB gives me a headache with the arcane strategy (like holding 3 card flushes) and prolonged JOB play makes me sleepy!

well, as others have pointed out, if your only criterion is
"minimizing volatility" then you should play the change machine. or
not play.

if your goal is "having fun playing VP but with minimal risk", then
find a penny-denomination machine and play single coin. your risk will
be minimal no matter what the paytable is.

if your goal is "having fun playing VP and putting in enough action to
get comps but with minimal risk", then look for multiline machines. if
you want to bet $5/hand, for instance, 10-line $0.10 has about 1/5 the
variance of single-line $1. breaking your bet into smaller bets on
multiple lines is more important than choosing a lower-variance
paytable.

if your goal is "minimizing risk given that i am playing single-line
at denomination X", then 9/6 jacks or better is about the
lowest-variance paytable you'll commonly find in las vegas. however,
if you're playing quarters, it's probably worth accepting a little
extra risk and playing FPDW instead, because the EV is so much better.
(100.7% vs 99.5%)

good luck,

five
