I can give you a good report on Tachi. First of all, ALL of their video poker
has auto-hold. I have never seen a casino like that before. About a year ago
they had six old Game Kings in the "tunnel", that were playable. They also had
auto-hold that was not accurate. For instance, it kept one pair instead of
two-pair on the Deuces Wild game.

The Peppermill in Reno, had "auto-hold" machines many years ago. One of the games
on those machines had FPKBJW. The auto-hold strategy was sadly lacking on that
game.
Usually, auto-holds are only a good idea for players who are not familar with the correct
strategy of the game.

I believe that holding ONE PAIR on DEUCES WILD is the correct play.
The objective at that point is to TRIP up and save your bet and your chances are
3x better when only holding one pair.

That is true ONLY of DW games that pay 15 coins for a FH. If the game pays 20 coins
for a FH, as in NSUD and IL Deuces, both pairs should be held! More that likely, the
Tachi did not offer FPDW, and, as noted by Bob, the auto-hold strategy was wrong.
