98.9974%, variance is 180.97606.

I set this up in WinPoker but only got 98.99% payback for the 9/6
schedule. The variance showed up as 180.98. I can't find anything
wrong in what I did to set it up but it's easy to make mistakes.
Can someone else set it up and verify Bob's number?
Thanks,
Bill

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.Summary of Pay Schedules

Subject: [vpFREE] Royal Aces BonusI 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.
