Even worse is that the loss rate quoted below is playing for quarters not dollars. 800 deals per hour is unrealistically fast because ten play tends to play a little slower. Also will be slowed down by hands pays (you hope). The amount of slowdown also depends on what a particular casino considers the minimum amount that forces a hand pay. If you insist on playing such a volatile game, you might want to consider 8-5 Super Aces which is 99.939% and found on many $1 10-play machines in LV. (This game is even available for dollars on 3, 5, 10, 50 play and Spinpoker in the Chicago Area where I am from.) If you are not familiar with 8-5 super aces, it looks like 8-5 double bonus with two exceptions. The minor change is that the SF pays 300 not 250. The major difference is that four aces pays 2000 with no kicker needed. This game is extremely volatile and if you do not get your fair share of four aces, you will get hammered. Also, whatever game you play, be sure to use Winpoker or Frugal VP (Also VPSM) to practice the strategy on. There are some unusual correct plays on both games.

If I were you, I will look for 10/6 DDB, which is positive. I'm
almost 100% sure this game is not available in Las Vegas in dollars
on ten play.
The next best game is 9/6 DDB, which returns 98.98%. This you can
find in dollars in ten play. According to Frugal, if you play single
line at 800 hands per hour, you can expect to lose $10.19 per hour,
long term. I would assume you will lose $101.90 average long term on
ten play, playing 800 hands per hour, but I'm not absolutely certain
the extrapolation is entirely correct.
If you seriously want to do this, you will of course be taking a
great risk. Figure on losing more than the above because you might
not hit a Royal right away, or aces with a kicker, etc. Of course,
you could get lucky and be dealt aces with a kicker at the start, for
a tidy $20,000, but you can't count on that. I did lots of
simulations in Frugal of this game, playing 100,000 hands. This would
be ten thousand hands in a ten play machine, something you could
achieve in fifteen or twenty hours of play. The results are all over
the place. You could lose $20,000, or win $20,000 at the end.
You don't want a more precise answer than this, do you? You are not
seriously thinking of playing this game long term, are you? If so,
please tell us the casino that gives over 1% of cashback and has this
game. Then it might be worth mortgaging the house to play it, if
taxes don't eat you up.
Good luck!

I'll be heading to Vegas 9/12. I usually play DDB $1 games. I
bought winpoker and have experimented with 10 play DDB. What's the
feeling about this game at the $1 level and what kind of bankroll
do
I need to play?
