I play primarily 9/6 JOB on an IGT Fifty Play Draw Poker machine.
This weekend I was teaching a family member the value of playing five
coins per hand. I explained that royals paid out 250 coin increments
for 1-4 coins bet, and then jumped to 4000 coins for 5 coins bet. To
illustrate this point, I selected the paytable on the machine and
found the following paytable for royals: 1 coin--250; 2 coins--600; 3
coins--1200; 4 coins--2000; 5 coins--4000.
I checked other machines in the casino. All the Fifty Play and
Hundred Play MG/MD machines seemed to have this paytable for royals
regardless of the game or denomination. All the other machines I
checked had the standard 250, 500, 750, 1000, 4000.
Is this a standard paytable for all IGT Fifty/Hundred Play
machines? Or is this paytable unique to the Indiana casino I frequent?
On a somewhat related note: I play alot of Fifty Play vp and
always play 50 hands each deal. On one deal this weekend, I kept a 2c
3c 5c (and tossed an 8 10 of nothing). For the first time in my
experience, I hit nothing on the draw. No paying pairs, no straights,
no flushes. Nothing. I stared at the machine for a moment thinking
either it had malfunctioned or I didn't really hit the draw button.
Then I realized what had occurred. I suspect the odds of this
occurring are very high.

I'm sure it is. I played 50-play Joker's Wild for many hours and I
don't believe I ever got totally skunked. 3 to a straight flush is
the best bet for that.

I have been playing 50 and then 100 play JOB allmost exclusively for
close to three years and well over 100,000 maybe close to 200,000
hands. This happened to me once in my first year on a 50 play with a
3 to SF 0 high cards. In the last two years since moving up to 100
play it has never happened. I suspect that getting nothing with
correct stratagy on one of these machines is just about as rare as
being dealt a royal. This has never happened to me but I guess that
with my amount of play I'm not due for another 5 years. Too bad we
didn't get the royals instead of the zips. Also I will have to check
the pay tables to see the short coin royal pays. I guess in these
three years I've never bothered to look.
On another note, does anyone know of any other type of multiplay
machine that can be played at max coin per hand with less than max
hands played?

Over five or six years of playing 50 play machines, I can recall only
two hands where I hit the dreaded ZERO points. Both were on Super Aces
Bonus Poker. One - as expected - was a 3 card double inside straight
flush 0 high card hand, and the other was a 4 card inside straight, 0
high cards.
