VP in Washington state or Oregon

In Oregon there are the lottery machines found in most bars and then there are the Indian casinos that have Las Vegas style machines including VP. 9/6 JB is available at Spirit Mountain and Seven Feathers (right off of I-5 about 30 miles south of Roseburg). I believe they run a fair game. Even the state lottery machines are "random" but very low pay. We own a bar with these machines so if anyone is interested in the he VP pay schedules, let me know. I can guarantee they are not good for the player, great for the state, okay for the bar owner ; ) .

Sylvia, Just for kicks, please post the pay schedules. I don't play the lottery terminals and haven't looked at the schedules in 10 years. Also, please verify that there is no "royal bonus" for playing the fifth coin. At least that's what I remember from so long ago.

I'd be most interested in the schedule for JOB. Might be good for a laugh or two.

Thanks, Kurt

From what I've read in the past the bar machines in Oregon are 94%. I've been to Seven Feathers and Wild Horse Pass. The video poker is random but very bad pay, no higher than about 97%. It looks like Spirit Mountain probably has the best with 9/6 Jacks.

The machines in the Indian Casinos in Washington are not random, you can't even discard what you want to, you have to take the draw the game says you have to take. But....thats only in the casinos where the tribes have a compact with the state. There are a few casinos north of Spokane, at Chewelah, that don't have a compact with the state and operate Nevada type machines. I think I'm gonna have to make a lap through there and see what's up.
