Video Poker How good is this VP paytable?

I'm not a regular VP player but decided to play a bit at my local casino. Had this hit and ran.

 

96.38% so nothing amazing

 

Not sure where you got that number from, but 9/6 DDB is 98.98%. So very good for a local casino.

 

That was my first reaction as well. But look a little more closely.

 

I agree 9/6 sure is, but this is 9/6/4 the straight is shorted also.

 

Ah, my eye is just trained to look at FH & Flush and assume it is a normal paytable. I'll have to look more closely in the future.

 

It isn't DDB.

 

Right. No kickers here. Any double bonus game where the straight pays 4 instead of 5 isn't worth playing.

 

Agreed. If you look up this Double Bonus pay table on vpfree you will see it is ranked 14th out of 16 possible DB pay tables ( with #1 being the best). The flush and straight both get short handed on 9/6/4. 9/7/5 DB (99.11) Is the worse pay table that you should ever play this game on ( if you can find it). Many station casinos have 10/7/5 DB in their casino but comps are tracked differently
