    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.

    There is a bar in town that claims they own the rights to the Four To The Royal. They even advertise "Home to the four to the Royal"

    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.

    How long ago did the Four Queens remove the 10/7 progressive?

    From what I've recently read online it's still there.

    Yes, I was aware of that. I stumbled onto the play when it was about over. I ran into Randy on it. By then they had disqualified the dollars. No one could tell me what the add-on for the four to the royal was. I had to do the math myself. It's about a 2% add-on.

    I walked through there briefly last month. They were gone from the wall by Magnolia's, although it's possible they just moved them. I was only in there a couple of minutes, so I didn't really look.

    From what I've read they are in a different location.
