When a Bonus Poker paytable is changed to give the same payout for all
4-of-a-kinds, the game becomes exactly the same as Jacks-or-Better, no matter
what they call it. In other words, 8/5/30 BP is the same as 8/5/30 JoB; both
return 98.48%. It's lost the distinguishing characteristic of BP - different
payouts for quad Aces and 2's-4's.
So I don't think we need to list these "Bogus Poker" (as you rightly call
it) paytables separately - just list them under Jacks-or-Better. However, it
might be convenient for the uninitiated to duplicate them under BP.

But the key is what IGT calls it....which is Bonus Poker. I first got
tricked the Spring of 2005 when staying in downtown Vegas MSS put in TITO Game Kings
in the Boar bartops. The 8/5-30 game was an option under "Bonus" poker.
This form of Bonus poker has spread in Laughin with the equally enhanced
quads.in the new flat screen Game Kings. The 8/5-35 paytable can be found at the
Aquarius. Now the 6/5-35 paytable has infiltrated the offerings at CB and EW
under the moniker "Bonus Poker".<BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> Get a
