The latter game used to be kings (or aces) as a high pair. (The new jacks+
versions only push on 2 small pair and are poor return games.) Frugal VP
contains a few versions of this in the base games. Not shown were the
versions that used to exist in the Chicago Area. (But can be handled by
Frugal VP) The Kings or better game with 7 (actually 12 or 13) for the full
house was 99.52% if the SF paid 50 (actually 59) and 100.24% if the SF paid
100 (actually 109). Both of these were available in the Chicago Area and
they also contained a 100.4+% BJ game.
Note: "Money Fever's" name was changed to "Bonus Flush" on later versions of
the game and in non-bonus mode had the largest % of losing hands of any vp
game (78%+) since it was a two pair game and you held all 3 flushes over a
pair and never redrew as you would hold a 2 flush with 5 odd cards.
Also early versions of these WMs games apparently had an "Easter egg" that
allowed cheating on the double up feature.

Hi linus. I do recall seeing this game many years ago, but sorry I don't
remember the specifics of your question. Another game I remember from this
same console was a jacks or better type game with (at first glance) a bad
pay table, but the player got paid for *all* winning combinations in a hand.
In other words, with a full house you would also get paid for 3 of a kind, 2
pair, and possibly hi pair. I always wondered about the actual return of
this game.
I have fond memories from playing those old WMS multi-game machines, but
mainly from a different (non-VP) game that was available on many of these
machines.
