Just curious what that big of a royal does to the ER. Does it make it positive? Wouldn't matter to me if I were a royal chaser--which I'm not.

A regular 8/5 DDB pay table returns 96.79% and if a royal pays a bit more than double the return is about 99% and still less than traditional 8/5 Bonus or 8/5 Aces and Faces.

But like I said -- if you hit the royal the pay table becomes "academic."

Edited to add: the royal would have to pay about $50,000 for this game to be positive.
