The worst machine seen?

After looking at the picture of $20K royal paytable, I started
thinking that is probably the worst paytable that I have ever seen.
Are there any games out there that are even worse? I will be in town
next week, and I was wondering where the worst game in town lives? Gas
station?

I know we are always looking for the best games around, but we do run
into some real lame ducks along the way.

I see so many bad paytables, that I dont even run the numbers to see
how bad they are, I know recently I saw 6/5 JOB, I just ran it and it
is 94.99%. I have said several times to my wife, that you might as
well play slots at some places, because the VP pays worse than some
slots. I do wonder what really is the worst VP paytable that is out
there available for some sucker. 88%, 85% ...???

Actually, that paytable is standard at Station's for Triple Double
Bonus....at least at GVR. Worst paytable I've seen recently is 6/5
DDB. That paytable is within eyesight of 10/6 DDB on the Optimums.
Plenty of people playing those 6/5DDB too. There's plenty of locals
that have a blank look when I mention they could find better pay
tables close by. They prefer the 6/5's because they hit more often.

Bad as the 5/4 JB and 6/5 DDB are (both are around 95%), they are wonderful compared to 8/5/4/3/1/1 Bonus poker. That game is under 87% and what's worse is that for a player who is not observant, it looks like regular 8/5 Bonus. I have no doubt that this is the reason the game exists. Borders on cheating in my opinion.
  I first spotted this on multiplays at the Rio, but they have been found at a couple other places in LV.

Actually the 5/4 JB is around 93%. I had the quads set higher first time through from a previous anlaysis.

ANY video poker machine in a Louisiana truck stop, bar, or resturant.
All games on these machines are required by state law to return no
higher than a theo. maximum of 94%, with perfect play. The royals max
out at $500, no matter how many quarters you play. Typical game might
be a JOB type game which upon closer inspection returns your bet for a
pair of ACES or better. Cash back and comps...what's that?

Did I mention that these games are very popular, even in towns that
have real casinos with real video poker practically next door?

Not a bad paytable if the SF is worth about 1500.
