Calculations are based on 5 credit $1 play.
1. 3WR needs a ridiculously high number to play as 2RF.
2. The break even point for 2TJQ suited is 18960 ignoring taxes. The other 4WRF are slightly worse.
3. The one deuce 5WRF is break even at 5300 for 2TJQK and 5365 for the others.
Other notes: The K high 2RF that are not played in NSUD become playable almost at reset and the A high 2RF are played at a relatively low level too.
I am asking a "general" question. Usually the machine I intend to play usually doesn't have a progressive royal high enough to merit the strategy changes I will discuss.
The machine is a $1 NSUD Progressive with the standard 25-16-10-4-4 paytable. Since I like that game anyway, the progressive feature is a nice "sweetener".
Ah, but with progressive royals come strategy changes. To keep the discussion brief I'm only interested in your opinion about three of them.
In each of the following dealt hands how high would the progressive royal have to be for you to discard the deuce (something you'd never do in a non-progressive NSUD game)?
1)A dealt three card royal with one deuce, i.e. 'JK'W
2)A dealt four card royal with one deuce, i.e. '10 QK'W
3)A dealt wild royal with one deuce, i.e. '10 JKA'W
Thanks for your attention and analysis.
Mikey
P.S. I'm assuming no 4 or 5 card royals dealt with 2 deuces would ever be played with the deuces being discarded. Please correct me if that assumption is wrong.
