>>>The "6 to 8 percent" claim is mostly hyperbole, but it has been
attained on occasion. Much more common is the 3-4 percent +EV play,
which usually occurs from a fortuitous combination of circumstances,
and is almost always short-lived.
Examples of the highest EV plays have been:
Double four of a kind promos. These have ranged from the "Texas
Massacre" when EVERY quad on EVERY machine paid double (for a few days)
when Texas Station opened, to a long-running promo at the Frontier
where cashing your paycheck got you a 2X4K coupon that could be used on
dollar 9/6 JOB.
Double royal promos.
One famous disaster at Tuscany, where any final hand of 4RF (loser) was
hand-paid 100 coins. With strategy adjustments, this was over 6%.
It's difficult to imagine any paytable error that all by itself would
convey this kind of edge. The only one that comes to mind is a DB-based
game accidentally paying 2-1 for two pair, which you don't see very
often.
