Thanks Harry. Can you answer one more question....
#65201 From: "auditor1966" <auditor1966@yahoo.com>
I saw this game at the Tropicana last night: "Faces & Aces Joker
Poker"
(JW2). The front of the machine looked new but the sides
looked "aged".
Could this be a "new" game in a refurbished case?
It pays $6,000.00 for 5 Aces and $5,000.00 for five "faces" and
$4,000.00 for a "No Wild" RF. I think 4K only paid 75 or 80.
What can you tell me about this game? Variance? RF Cycle? Optimal
Strategy? ER?
Thanks.

Working from a rough recollection, the base paytable is akin to the
standard "AC" JW 5-kind jackpot game, shorting two paylines so that
at
reset the ER is approx 95%. There's a meter on "5 2's-10's" in
addition to the others you note.
The ER of the play doesn't get interesting until the average
Face/Ace
meter value approaches $3K -- rarely seen. Even then, in between
jackpots the expected drain is about 12% (vs. less than 3% for JB).
It's a quarter game that will easily drain $100-$300/hr. from your
pocket.
