WHEEL POKER VAIRANCE AND ODDS QUESTION

how does wagering an extra coin(the th coin for the wheel) per line
on a wheel poker effect the games overall percentage and variance?
i was trying to figure out the game percentage & strategy for wheel
poker. i usually play bonus poker and determined that by changing the
pay scale for 4 of a kind by the minimum wheel value of 100 credits.
(ie: changing 4 aces from 400 credits to 500 credits)that this should
generate a accurate playing strategy.i am using video poker for
winners program to do this.
can someone tell me am i over simplifying the way i am determining the
strategy.

the payscale for bonus poker is rf 4000/sf250/4aces400/2-4's 200/5-k 125
fh 50/fl 40/str8 25/3ofk 15/ 2pr 1/ job 1.
by calculating the game in the above mention way(without calculating
how the 6th coin effects the game i come up with the following %
overall:98.7883%
standard deviation:24.194 or4.83 per coin
variance:585.34 or 23.41 per coin
the above % are based on the minimum value of the wheel being hit with
a 4ofk(ie 4sces 500/2-4's 300/5-k 225)

any help would be appreciated

thank you
