New Machine

#1

Boulder has a new machine called "Trade-Up" (2 of them)
If you are dealt a full house containing 3 Aces. 2's, 3's or 4's
or if you are dealt any other 3 of a kind, you trade up to the next
10 hands containg the 3 of a kind.
I saw only a 7/5 JoB and a 5/5 bonus. There are other games, but I
did not see them.
Per cycle of 649,000 etc, you are dealt 936 full houses of which 288
should qalify and also dealt 13728 3 of a kinds of which 9504 should
qualify.
At worst, the next 10 hands will be a payback of at least 15 coins (3
of a kind), but there will be full houses and quads as well.

Can anyone figure the EV on the 2 schedules above?

They appear to be mutidenominational. 5c, 10c, 25c

Bob Dancer reviewed Trade-Up Poker in the November Strictly Slots.
This article is on the web at:

The article reports the EV for the various paytables (including rule
variations). It also gives the play strategy to always trade-up when
offered.

Thanks to all that responded. BEST ev is below deuces, so why play?
