I am wondering if this is a good deal...... I live near Deadwood, SD where the video poker basically stinks average payouts are near 96%. There is one opportunity and I want to see if it is worth doing. Basically, 6/5 Jacks better 5 cent Progressive. Jackpot is $580.00 and slot club pays .5%, triple that to 1.5% on Mondays. Game is 99.5% + .5%=100% on single point days, 101% on triple point days. Variance is around 180. If i don't hit the royal or a straight flush I will be down in the 89-92% area on simulations. They also have hot seat drawings on single point days every 15 minutes or so from $75 -$250 every 15-30 minutes depending on the day. I played 3 hours yesterday, and won a $75 hot seat. Had to play off the $75 one time through and collected $65 of it. I average 550 hands per hour, but the slot club points didn't accumulate when I was playing off my $75 bonus. I played around 1200 hands (not counting the free play) and lost $27.00. So $300 through machine and lost $27, puts me at 91% return, no SF's, RF's , and 3-4k, which is just a bit above average for 1200 hands. Net gain with hotseat was $38.00, Should I stay with it or should I go?
