Kelso asked about 9/6 Royal Aces Bonus. Where he was going wrong is that
the lowest pay is for a pair of aces only and not for KK, QQ, or JJ.
The following is from an upcoming "Basics of Video Poker" Book. The
return on the 9/6 game is decent, depending on slot club and promotional
stuff. The variance is astronomic.

Subject: [vpFREE] Royal Aces Bonus
I saw this game over the weekend. The database lists the paytable as
Royal Aces Bonus 9/6/4/3/1/1
The rest of the paytable was the same as double bonus except that four
Aces paid 4000 (if I remember correctly).
When I analyze this, I get a payout of 111.59%.
Obviously, I have made a mistake somewhere. Does anyone know the
complete paytable and what the payback is.
With both Four Aces and Royal Flush paying 4000 coins, it looked
tempting.
