A game I have done very well on -- but only at LOW denominations because of its volatility -- is Royal Aces Bonus where any quad aces pays the same as a royal. The basic strategy is to hold aces unless you have another dealt hand or close to dealt quads or straight flush.
Is it 8/5 BP, 7/5? Do you know the meter speed? How high have you seen the progressive?Quote:

Don't know the meter speed
Just as a comparison for meter speed: At Rincon in San Diego the $5 DDB progressive increased 25-cents for each $25 (five coin) bet. So that's one-tenth of one percent.
I don't recall what the contribution was on the $1 progressive, but that game also included progressives on the aces, 2s, 3s, 4s, with and without kickers.
That's 1%Quote:

I've never seen a full pay progressive. Must be a treat.
Unless it has very recently changed. Cincinnati does not have any full pay VP. The $1 progressive was 7/5 bonus poker just a few weeks ago. I don't believe a $5700 will make up for it not being full pay. I will be there later in the week and will check it.Quote:
