Wild card games go up in value more slowly than games played without wild
cards. This is because max-EV strategy says that you rarely, if ever, throw
away a wild card, even when the Royal is quite high, which often precludes
the possibility of hitting a natural Royal.

It's quite interesting to see how these eight specific games stack up
against each other when the royal is high. They all start in the 96% range at
reset, but there is a lot of difference when they get high. If I recall,
at least one of them which is lower than another at reset actually becomes
higher when at 12000 coins or so. They intersect at some point.
Check it out for yourself on your software. It's very interesting. Off
the top of my head I think the 6-5 Bonus Poker is about 102-1/4% at 13000
coins, and I remember the 15-7 Jokers Wild is MUCH lower. Yet they both are
96-3/4% or so at reset.
I know Frank addressed that before. Or at least he spoke about how the
Joker game changed as the royal increased. It's all pretty interesting.
