Howard, I'm just about to head out to play full pay OEJW so I'll give
you a quick answer and then fill in the details when I get back in a
couple of days.
The full pay version of the game pays the same except for the wild
royal (which is 1000) and straight flush (which is 250). Since the
WRF returns 5.4% of the payback I'll reduce that by 25% (or 1.35%)
which would net 98.9%. The SF returns 10.1% of the payback so it must
be reduced by 40% (or 4%) yielding a return of 94.9% I suspect some
strategy adjustments would raise that number by a few tenths but not
enough to make it playable.
I've seen this game where the royal pays more than 4000 (10,000 in
one case). You might want to double check that number. Of course,
I've never seen a playable version (98.5% is the highest in Turtle
Lake, WI).
The double joker strategy is similar but it does not take into
account the suit asymmetry. However, I doubt you're interested now
that you know the payback.

In my last post for the Majestic Star, I left off one unusual game.
For quarters, halves and dollars they have one eyed jacks wild. I had
seen this game before on Atronics machines but this was on IGT.
The 5 coin paytable was as follows for all levels:
RF = 4000
WRF = 750
5 of a Kind = 375
SF = 150
4 of a Kind = 75
FH = 25
FL = 15
ST = 10
3 of a Kind = 5
2 pair = 5
Does anybody know the payback for this game? Anybody have an
accurate strategy? Similar to double joker?
