Bob-Isn't it fun when you hit something nice when taking a pot shot
at a higher denomination? The term "looser" is usually not used in
video poker. The paytable determines the amount of looseness (is that
a word?), not the denomination. Your hunch is correct. The RNG does
not know or care if you are playing a nickel game or dollars.
Now many times the paytable will change with denomination. As an
example, I played last weekend at MontBleu at Lake Tahoe. I was
playing Jacks or Better. At the dollar denomination, it was a 9/6
game. However, if you played any denonimation lower on the same
machine, the game went to 8/5. So I guess you could say that in this
case the higher denomination was looser. However, the same number of
quads, FH and flush hits should be the same reguardless of the
denomination.
The question that I have actually results from something that
happened to me in Reno, but
since most of my friends are in this group I decided to ask here.
Do VP machines tend to be looser if one plays a higher denomination?
Earlier this month when I was playing at the Eldorado in Reno I
started the morning playing
25¢ BP. I had already gotten at least two quads playing 25¢.
Then, just before I stopped
playing to leave for home, just on a lark, I started playing $1. I
hadn't played more than 5
hands when I hit Jacks which paid $125.
I think that the machines probably pay off at the same frequency no
matter what the
denomination is, but since I'm relatively new to VP and hadn't seen
this question asked yet I
