Hit the $5000 jackpot on the Treasure Chest Poker at MSS right
before
the holiday. I don't often play this machine, because I haven't
been
able to find any information on the frequency of the chest
denominations, and hence the overall payback of the machine.
But my parents play it all the time, and they think it's a blast so
I
thought I'd give it a try. After about 4 hours or so, and many
140/180 chests later, I finally hit it. And to boot, it was 4
snowmen...keeping in with the holiday spirit.
I wanted to ask if anyone had any info on the overall frequency of
the
hits? Or whether or not the chest is predetermined or not after
the 4
of a kind is hit.
Thanks,
Ryan
Punch in "treasure chest poker" in the search feature at the top of
the vpFree message board to read posts about the game. These posts
go back to the summer of 2005.
One poster says that through 97 quads on quarters he averaged 185
coins. He says he got the $ll99 payout on the 98th quad--and did not
include it in the average. But I have a problem with this persons
statistics--if you get paid either 140 or 180 there is no way you can
average 185.
Another poster, Steve Bork, says he had played the game for years at
dollars and his quads averaged to 168 coins. He had hit the $5,000
twice.
I always take everyone else's collection of statistics with a grain
of salt. I would have to collect my own. If the quads averaged to
160 the game would be 98.9%, at 170 the game would be 99.4%. And God
only knows what the average is for the "big hit." That would be
proprietary information I don't think they are willing to give up.
If I were collectiing statistics on the quads I think I would pick
the same box everytime. The bigger the sample space the better but
I'm guessing I'll probably see a pattern develop after 15 or twenty
quads.
