On sort of a related sidebar, about ten years ago I played a Texas Hold em video poker game at the Four Queens.
The ante was a quarter as was the cost for the flop, turn and river. You could fold at any point after the ante. You played against four other players who never folded. If you stayed in to the end and won, you got paid according to a paytable that was higher as the winning hands got better similar to VP. (A royal paid 4000 quarters - sound familiar? and was almost exactly as common as a royal in 9/6 jacks.) Also, if your folded hand would have won, you got your bet back.
