Subject: Match Card Bonus VP

That's correct. They are Lottery VLTs. If you try throwing away a winning
hand, you will either be redealt it on the redraw or the bonus card will match
and you will win that amount. I tried that several times on similar machines
that were installed at Monticello Raceway in upstate New York.
The amazing thing is that there were people waiting in line to play them.

Match Card Bonus is a Sierra Design Group game (part of Bally Gaming
I think).
The payschedule (playing max coins) is 1000/50/25/8/5/4/3/2/1. In
addition, there is a "bonus" if the 5th card on the redeal matches
another card that is selected (presumably) randomly.The only game is called
Match Card
Bonus, in quarters and nickels. But it isn't your typical VP, so thought I'd
describe it.

I believe the video poker devices you are describing are VLT's. The payback
percentage on VLT's is whatever the programmer chooses and is unrelated to the
stated paybacks for specific hands. (In other words, there is no RNG.)

Before I wrote my post I actually played a few games to test out the
VLT theory, but not enough games because this IS a VLT game! I found
this out today and yesterday when I did further testing at both
casinos.

I think I was also mislead because my wife and I are net winners
after 4 sessions. And I got a quad on a redeal, which I didn't think
would happen on a VLT. Plus, a player next to me got a RF for
$5000.

Thanks to the posters who brought this to my attention.
