I see that now. I had never really even considered it before now. I went and got my notes since I posted previously, and I can see now exactly what you're talking about. The Joker Wild and the Deuces games are the LOWEST returns of all eight games, when I figure them at 13000 coins. That is really interesting. And I looked at the game analysis in WinPoker and the frequencies for royals are about 1 in 37000 whereas the other games are about 1 in 31000.
This is pretty cool. lol With these various progressives and different games, it's just always going to be a challenge to figure things out. Hey, to me, that's a big part of the fun! And it IS fun.
Thanks for pointing that out, Brian.
