Historically, 10/7 Double Bonus has been a good game to play on promotions. It's payback, 100.17% doesn't allow for you to make money on the game straight up. You need a good promotion. I remember playing nickel 10/7 Ten-play at the Cal-Neva in Reno with .125% cashback, .125% comp, and scratchers for 4 of a kinds, worth an average of $1.50. It was about a $25 an hour play. The Tuscany once had dollar 10/7 and a 100 coin bonus when you made 4 to the royal on the final hand. Four Queens had 10/7 progressive for quarters (quarter percent meter) , the card was worth .3725%, plus comps. They also had $1 and $2 denom 10/7, with the cashback the game was at 100.5%, and the drawings, highly lucrative and based on action, were the central focus of this play.
Another thing that needs to be noted is that 10/7 is a difficult game to master. There are more than sixty moves to learn and lots of penalty card situations
FYI the Tuscany Four to the Royal bonus was only supposed to be paid if your final hand didn't contain a payback/"winning hand.Quote:

They have a worthless 4 to the Royal promo.
Twenty years ago, I knew how to play 10/7. Now I have to consult a card for what seems like every blessed hand.Quote:
