Thank you! Your calculations are dead accurate and I tried to over think the
first part of it completely messing it up.

the latter. 1/15 of the time you get the deal multiplier for 4.01
times the base return, 1/15 of the time you get the draw multiplier
for 4.01 times the base return, sometimes you get both but we're
already counting that, and (14/15)*(14/15) of the time you get neither
multiplier so you get 1.0 times the base return.
combined return is 2*(1/15)*4.01 + (14/15)*(14/15)*1.0 = 1.4058 times
the base return. you're putting in 1.4 times as many coins (7 instead
of 5), so divide that by 1.4 and you get 1.0041 times the base return
- the DSTP game is 0.41% better.
the "you get 20x on any dealt royal with a deal multiplier" gimmick
adds another 0.09%, so the overall EV is 0.5% better, which agrees
with the figures from IGT and shackleford.
cheers,
five
