This should come as a shock to many of us -- the base pay schedules are so ugly that I can't imagine anyone playing them. Lets all cheer for 6/5 JOB, 9/6/4 DB, I can't even repeat the Deuces schedule on a family board.

I wouldn't call this a total shock -- although these are pays that I
would expect if the game every made it out here in AC.
The atypical concept of the game and the fact that most casinos are
ill at ease at trying anything unusual (unless it's a promotion of
their own devising that manages to give away the house) would lead me
to expect them to initially target paytables with 97%-98% returns (aka
8/5 JB, 9/6/5 DB) until they discovered that their holds on these
paytables were unusually strong. Then, one might hope that they would
move toward "full pay" paytables to draw greater play that would have
a very decent chance of producing holds that are greater than normal
for those paytables.
However, these paytables reduce the machines to a pure novelty play.
It'll attract the coin droppers who play one or two lines at a time at
a one coin bet. And given the greater frequency with which most of
the lines will crap out, even these souls are going to get fed up PDQ.
Either the Orleans will send the machines back after a month or
they'll wise up and give the paytables a makeover. However, having
introduced the machines on the floor in this manner I don't give them
much credance for having the intelligence to try to salvage their blunder.

As much fun to play as this game is, I can't imagine that anyone in
this group believed that we'd see anything at all like the full pay
versions on the web. It may be that the full pay versions will be
only be seen in the higher denominations. At a buck, that's $20 a
hand, a bit pricey for most of us. Even a $.25 it's $5 a hand, a lot
more than I'm used to playing on single line DB. At the paytables
above it's merely a slot machine.
