Page 44 of my book, All The Best of Video Poker Times, presents a table showing RoR for various starting bankrolls and various numbers of hands for 9/6 JoB as determined by computer simulation. If you start with a 400 unit bankroll ($500 on a 5-coin quarter machine) and play 8000 hands (or until you lose the $500), the RoR is about 14%, the mean ending bankroll is $455, and the expected mean number of hands is 7810.

The book includes similar tables for full pay Deuces Wild and Double bonus poker.
