Video Poker Appendix 2
A new video
poker game (currently at the Orleans and Suncoast) pays the player
both on the their initial 5-card hand and their hand after the draw.
Half the coins bet will pay based on the intial hand and the other
half based on the draw. If the player bets an odd number of coins
then the extra coin will go toward the draw of one hand. The player
may choose from 4 games and either 3 play, 5 play, or 10 play. The
first coin bet will be on the draw of the first hand. The second
coin bet will be on the deal of the first hand. The third coin bet
will be on the draw of the second hand, and so on. After the player
has bet at least 2 coins (one each on the draw and deal) on each
hand then he will start to add a second coin to each of the hands.
For the deal the player shall receive a separate set of cards per
hand. However on the draw only the first hand shall be used with a
separate set of replacement cards on each hand.
The following table is a summary of the return of each game on
both the deal and the draw.
