Spin-Poker: Computing the Return

#1

Not at all. Strategy and return are identical to the base game. It is
actually a nine play game but since each draw card affects three hands
(except the center reel which is 2, 5, 2 the game is more volatile than
"nine play" (Yes, I know there is no such animal.).

Subject: [vpFREE] Spin-Poker: Computing the Return

I played this game for the first time today, and it appears to be
virtually identical to a typical "3-play multi" game. To compute the
return all that's required is to enter the pay schedule in WinPoker
or FrugalVP. Am I missing anything?

I quit playing the game after getting a few big wins on only '1 or 2'
lines. Std. win would be a 3-line or 3-way pay.

The SpinPoker games at the SunCoast have the following returns (based
on a 25 cent bet ... not 5 or 10 cents), from best to worst.

Bonus Poker: 99.1660%
Double Bonus: 99.1065%
JorB: 98.6289%
Deuces Wild: 98.0131%
DDBP: 96.7861%

There is no "progressive" offered, and quite volitile, so IMHO the
SunCoast has other games that are better, in terms of return and
reduced volatility. But it IS fun to play ... and I see a lot of
people playing.
