6-5 jacks is about 97.8% on this so 7-5 jacks should be about 99%. Played the 6-5 jacks at what was Harrah's which is now Resorts (East Chicago IN) with progressives for all the dealt big hands except four 5-10s (Was often slightly positive but massive variance.). Be aware that 9-5 DDB is about the same as 7-5 jacks (Normally about 1-2/3% better.) due to the dealt bonus for the quads already paying a premium versus jacks or better. On deuces, you should note than 4 deuces only pay 160-1 rather than 200-1. In other words only play jacks or better.

Subject: [vpFREE] Triple Play Question
I played a triple play game I hadn't seen before at Harrahs
yesterday. I should not have won (horrible paytables on all games)
but did for reasons which will soon become apparent.
The game is similar to Double Pay where you are rewarded handsomely
if dealt a good hand on the initial deal. But in this game you do not
have to place any additional bets for that payoff. In other words, 15
coins total bet for 3 hands as always.
The bonus payoffs are ONLY for a dealt four-of-a-kind, a 4K with a
kicker (think DDB) and a dealt royal.
To compensate for this bonus, paytables are slashed to unthinkable
levels: 7/5 Jacks, 7/5 DDB, etc.
So, what's the bonus? You'll get a total payoff (meaning all 3 hands)
of 30,000 for a dealt royal instead of the usual 12,000. Most four-of-
a-kinds are at least doubled (I won being dealt 4 10's on my last
hand for a total payoff of 1,200 for the three hands).
And here's what made the game somewhat interesting for me: those
bonus payouts even applied on their version of deuces wild, which was
comparable to most other deuces game available at Harrahs. So, for
example, you could be dealt four 3's and an ace and receive a
total "bonus" payout of 5,000 as opposed to the 60 you would normally
receive for a 4K in deuces wild.
So, to make a very long story short, how much of a penalty from full-
pay would a person be able to take on this game to make it playable?
I am assuming this game is already on videopoker.com or will be there
shortly. You would be able to see the full paytable there. If any of
you feel like crunching the numbers, maybe this isn't such a bad way
to go with paytables bad enough anyyay.
