Four Aces or Eights pays 400 coins. Since this is a fifty cent denomination the correct payout would be $200. According to VPFree the correct payouts in coins are:
50,000 Seq. Royal
4,000 Royal Flush
250 Straight Flush
400 Four Aces or Eights
250 Four Sevens
125 Other 4ofaK
40 Full House
25 Flush
20 Straight
15 3ofaK
10 Two Pair
5 JoB
The amount won in dollars would be half of what is listed above.
Just began my first full day of my seven day Las Vegas vacation. With the massive full pay downgrade at the Palms, I made alternative plans for significant play near the strip by learning Aces & Eights as shown available on vpFREE2 at Circus Circus.
At the 50c level the machines were where they were listed. After playing for a while at the 50c level I noticed that the 4oK (if aces or eights) were only paying 200 at five coin. ($2.50 per hand). According to all the fullpay schedules 4oK (if aces or eights) is supposed to be paying $400 at 5 coin.
This is the first time I've played this game in a casino (only on software). The fullpay schedule is supposed to pay 99.781% without the sequential royal and 100.25% with the sequential royal (as is available at CC).
By my calculations relying on some VP software, with the aces or 8 4oK downgraded to only $200 (instead of $400) the potential perfect play l/t payout is reduced to 98.295% (about a 1.50% reduction). Thus I assume with the sequential royal it too would be paying out at about 1.50% less or about 98.75% instead of 100.25%. The $200 payout (versus $400) was tHE case on all 8 machines in the banks near the pizza place as well as across from the buffet. I couldn't locate any A&8s machines near the deli as was listed on vpFREE2.
I didn't have the time to check the ones listed at Slots-A-Fun.
Any more exprerienced CC players notice the $200 versus $400 payout recently? Also assuming I have the $200 aces or eight 4oK correct is the revised EV I calculated correct (assuming rounding to two decimal places beyond one full percentage)?
I guess I'll revert to plan B and C for the rest of my vacation.
Thanks,
ST
