Spin Poker Question

So one of the way I evaluate and compare plays is to run some bankroll numbers. I don’t really know how to do that with spin poker. I understand the “physical” differences between spin and n play. I understand that spin at 9 lines increases volatility. My guess is bankroll requirements for spin played at 3 lines is roughly similar to 3 play… the difference 3 draws to one 47 card deck and 3 draws to three separate 47 card deck. Pat hands equal. Is my guess in the neighborhood of correct?

I think that’s a good assumption. I used DRA-VP 2.0 to compare 9-line Spin Poker with “normal” 10-play for 25c 8/5 Bonus Poker.

After 4000 hands, with a $1000 bankroll. (A $1000 Goal, but doesn’t stop at Goal.)

…Spin…10-Play

ROR…55%…59%

Goal…27%…28%

So, short-term flux is slightly higher for 10-play, as you might expect.

Longterm bankrolls are consistent, too. If total CB, BB, and perks are worth 2%, then here’s the starting bankroll you’d need for a 1% RoR if you played the game forever:

…Spin…10-Play

…$6900…$7200

Well that is interesting. I always thought 9 line spin was a
wilder ride than 10 play. Did you get ROR numbers from your …
never mind. Just looked it up. I didn’t know your software
handled ror and multiple vp variants including spin. Thank you,
sir.
