A couple of additional notes:
1. Most casinos nowadays have more than one game on the same machine. These
are usually IGT Game King or Bally's Gamemaker. Find the Jacks or Better
logo and then make sure the paytable matches the one in Frugal VP.
2. We have a situation at the Majestic Star (Gary IN) where a game called
Jacks or Better is actually an unusual version of Bonus Poker Deluxe. It
is a somewhat weaker pay table than the Full Pay version on the same
machine! This is on IGT equipment so it is a well known brand!
3. The 239 SF is seen on some $5 machines to lower the payback to less than
the $1200 W2G threshold. There are also some double bonus and double double
bonus variations where this is done to bring the total payback below 100%
as required in all non-indian jurisdictions except NV.
4. Since you have Frugal VP, the strategy for the other games you mentioned
is available on your software. Just change to the game you want and either
practice or print the correct strategy chart. The key thing to check in a
casino is that EVERY line of the pay table matches the game you want. (You
might take a copy of the strategy chart and or pay table with you.

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] Re: Questions about Jacks or Better video pokerHi, thank you for taking time to help me. Could you clarify something:
You mention that "Be carefull other games(Double
Double Bonus Poker) also have the 9 to 1 for the full house and 6 to 1
for the flush paytable."
This is one of the areas I was concerned about. If other games may have
9/6 listed as payout for full house/flush, how do I know if I have found
JoB? Would the Double Double Bonus Poker you mentioned still be a "JoB"
game? Would I still use a JoB strategy on it?

Go to the home page, then go to Video Poker pay tables--you will see
various Jack or Better paytables. THe most common 9/6 Jacks or
Better game is the 99.54% pay table. Most video poker games will
tell you the name of the game on it. Be carefull other games(Double
Double Bonus Poker) also have the 9 to 1 for the full house and 6 to
1 for the flush paytable.
Check the casino's in the data base(for L.V) that have the 9/6
paytable( most on the strip have the inferior 8/5 paytable). Many
local casinos will have the 9/6 paytable,again the data base will
tell you.[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
