VP question

[adbploink]

Video poker, not Vice President.

The only casino on the island has now added standard video poker machines. The pay table on JOB is 8/5. At 20p per coin in (£1 max bet) the progressive is over £1100 (5500 coins). Does this make the machines +ev? THere is absolutely no loyalty program and the drinks are not free.

Look for "8/5 Jacks or Better Progressive"
EV turns positive a $2167 for a quarter machine, eg. 8700 coins.

e.g., exempli gratia: for example

i.e., id est: that is

2167 x 4 = 8668
