I was at Harrahs Lake Tahoe this weekend and among other machines, played a 50 Play machine which had both 9/6 Jacks and 8/5 Bonus Poker. I played at the quarter denomination and at the time was focused on earning points. I see two 50 play machines at Harrahs High Limit and I think they are pretty good at getting points. I like to earn points to "Pay" for the room and comps and any promos, then play craps which earn very few points at Harrahs and Harveys in Lake Tahoe.
To me one of the obstacles of video poker is the variance in that unless you hit a royal, you will be down about two percent of the pay back. My thought in playing the 50 play machine is that I would have a much better chance of hitting royal. It worked out this time.
As you can see, I was dealt a flush on Bonus Poker but it was four to a royal. So I threw away the 9 of diamonds and came up with two royals. I did a close up so you can see the two royal hits.
