I found something

there are all kinds of joker-poker games where the royal flush pays 2500 coins instead of 4000 coins. And I believe the payback on these games is close to 96%. Pechanga in San Diego has lots of them. This is why I asked about the payback on the royal. Lucky says its 500 to 1 even with five coins in. That's 2500 coins.

lucky referred to a "joker feature" and a "bonus symbol." He didn't say anything about a joker being in the deck and with the payscale he put up there is no Five of a Kind listed. I have no idea what he's talking about.

With the payscale lucky listed who cares about a royal flush or even the straight flush. You would have about a 6% edge just up through the Four of a Kind.
