Does anyone know of any new VP software upgrades that can handle WILD
CARD versions of Pick'em Poker? Specifically, I am looking for Deuces
Wild and Jokers Wild Pick'em Poker games to practice on and to
generate strategies.
I saw these games at the Palazzo in Las Vegas last month. I realize
with all the other horrible paytables at the Venetian/Palazzo, that
these EV's are also bad. But I would like to have the ability to
analyze these games and BETTER ONES down the road at other "joints"
if I see better Pick'em paytables.
Here is what I found:
Palazzo Las Vegas - Pick'em Poker Deuces Wild
1 Coin 5 Coins
Royal Flush 1000 10000
Four Deuces 500 2500
Wild Royal Fl. 100 500
Five of a Kind 75 375
Straight Flush 25 125
Four of a Kind 8 40
Full House 5 25
Flush 4 20
Straight 3 15
Three of a Kind 2 10
Two Pair 2 10
Aces or Better 1 5
Palazzo Las Vegas - Pick'em Poker Jokers Wild
1 Coin 5 Coins
Royal Flush 1000 10000
Five of a Kind 400 2000
Wild Royal Fl. 200 1000
Straight Flush 100 500
Four of a Kind 18 90
Full House 10 50
Flush 9 45
Straight 8 40
Three of a Kind 4 20
Two Pair 2 10
Jacks or Better 2 10
There may be even Bonus Poker versions of Pick'em (or Pick-A-Pair)
out there ... who knows (like at the Paris, LV)? I did enjoyed
playing the original game (EV 99.95%) years ago at the Gamemaker
machines in Bally's, LV, but that was "eons ago".
If I can't get the software, did anyone ever devise strategies for
these versions of Pick'em ?, meaning shortcut approximations?
Please get back to me if you can help and ........ Happy New Year
