At the best casinos for video poker players in Las Vegas it’s possible to find machines that pay in excess of 100% with perfect play. Note those words ‘with perfect play’–most of the 100%+ payback machines are Deuces Wild or other variants that average players don’t intuitively know the correct strategy for. Excitement of the casino to the comfort of your home! 756-8248 International / Local: 513-469-6486 100 Office Park Drive, Fairfield (Cincinnati) OH 45014. I noticed a video poker variant called Hot Roll Poker at the Suncoast yesterday. The idea is if the player doubles his bet then one in six times he will get a multiplier. The multiplier is the sum of the roll of two dice. The expected return and strategy are the same as conventional video poker. Please click the link.

I never thought I'd get to say this but, 'I beat you to it!'

Although, I couldn't say for sure, at the time, that the multipliers definitely had a 1 in 6 probability of occurring. In that post, however, I was able to determine that one in six was a minimal case because the visual representation of dice must conform to the randomness of physical dice and would, thus, have an average roll of seven.
By the way, there doesn't seem to be a link for this game on the Video Poker Paytables Main Page, yet:

Another way they could have done the game would be roll the dice on every throw and award the multiplier if the roll were a pair. They could also do a separate roll for each line.
I didn't link it up yet. I always give WoV members the first opportunity to see anything new.
Can this game be vultured?
No. It plays very similarly to super times pay and double super times pay. You can get a dice roll before the deal or you can get a roll after you draw, but you cannot get both. STP you can only get it before the deal. Double STP you can get before deal or after the draw..or both.
This game is very fun to play.
A few minor suggestions on the text.
The player will get a multiplier with probability 1/6. I suggest...
The multiplier is awarded with a probability of 1 out of 6.

Since the player must double his bet, the return is exactly the same as for the base pay table.
The minimum paytables on Hot Roll seem to be better than some of the junk we see out here.
If you play it at 5 coins/line, it's just like standard multi-line VP, only in many cases, with a better paytable than the plain multi-line machines, even on low denominations.
Of course, playing 10 coins/line gives you that fun 'HOT ROLL!' sound effect when it rolls a 10 or better.

I can say the pay tables are the Suncoast are stingy, at least the machine I checked. As a general rule, I think it is worth the time to check pay tables on video poker variants like this.

That I can believe.
Out here where stingy paytables are the norm, Hot Roll seems to offer less stingy options.
It is indeed a Nevada regulation that video representations of dice must conform to natural odds, like real dice. I think it is just coincidental that the probability of getting a multiplier at all is 1 in 6 (a natural die probability).
I think it is coincidental, too, but ended up being the easiest thing to do:
Since the player must bet double to get a feature, and assuming the player gets a feature, the average value must be 7x, then you could say that play is worth (.5 * 7) = 3.5
Given that such is the case, now they would want to look at how many plays (worth only half the normal base pay because of no feature) it would take to make the game balance out. IOW, they need a total that, divided by the number of games on average to get the feature, equals one, but slightly more than one (increased ER) would work.
5 * .5 = 2.5 + 3.5 = 6....5+1=6....6/6=1....Thus, one in six plays.
So, I agree that it probably ended up being coincidental, but kind of neat how it works.

My friend Mark isn’t a casino regular, but he likes to play a little video poker now and then. His goal is just to have a good time and stay in action for a couple of hours.
“Do you have a guide to how much cash I need to last a couple of hours?” he asked.
I showed him the bankroll calculator on Video Poker for Winners software, and assumed expert play for 1,000 hands --- about two hours play for anaverage player.
First up was Jacks or Better on three pay tables --- the full-pay 9-6 game, paying 9-for-1 on full houses and 6-for-1 on flushes, which returns 99.54 percent with expert play; the 8-5 game(97.30 percent); and the 7-5 game (96.15 percent) that’s becoming all too common on quarter games.
Jacks or Better is the least volatile of common video poker games, a game that’s designed to keep you in your seat. There are no big four-of-a-kind bonuses that are going to make your day. Allquads pay 125 coins for a five-coin wager. But the 2-for-1 payoff on two pairs packs a different kind of wallop, one that will keep you going for extra chances at the bigger pays.
The average loss for two hours of betting $1.25 a hand on a quarter machine is $5.75 with a 9-6 pay table, $34.75 at 8-5 and $48.12 at 7-5 --- which ought to tell you why I’m alwaysharping on finding the best pay tables. In the days when each video poker machine had just one game --- no touching the screen to try a different game --- I once found a long row of 18 machinesthat alternated between 9-6 and 8-5 pay tables. There were as many players at the low-payers as at the 9-6ers. Ugh.
The required bankroll is much higher than the average loss if you want to give yourself enough for a 5 percent risk of ruin --- a 95 percent chance of surviving two hours without losing it all.That takes $165 on 9-6 Jacks, $185 at 8-5 and $195 at 7-5.
Your chances of having a winning session after two hours are 34.54 percent at 9-6, 22.35 percent at 8-5 and 17.19 percent at 7-5. Settling for a 7-5 pay table instead of 9-6 cuts your chancesof winning in half.
Then I checked probably the most popular video poker game: Double Double Bonus Poker. With a 9-6 pay table, it’s a 98.98 percent return, $12.75 average loss in two hours on a quarter machine,with a $300 bankroll for a 5 percent risk of ruin and a 35.46 percent chance of a winning session. On the 8-5 version that’s become all too common, the payback percentage falls to 96.79percent, average two-hour loss increases to $40.12, the bankroll requirement rises to $320, and the chance of a winning session drops to 30.75 percent.
Double Double Bonus Poker is the more volatile game, with more of its payback concentrated into relatively rare four-of-a-kind hands. Most quads pay 250 for a five-coin wager, and the rewardrises to 400 on four 2s, 3s or 4s; 800 if those low quads are accompanied by an Ace, 2, 3 or 4 kicker; 800 on four Aces; and 2,000 on four Aces with a 2, 3 or 4 kicker. The two-pairs return isreduced to 1-for-1 ---- you just get your money back.
That’s why Double Double Bonus bankroll requirements are higher than in Jacks or Better. But in any game, cuts in the pay table slash your chances of winning. Be wary.
LONGER SESSIONS: Two-hour sessions are extremely volatile. Just about anything can happen in any session as short as a couple of hours. But I’ve had many a two-hour session back when that wasthe length of a riverboat casino cruise, and still often go to a local casino to play for a couple of hours and have lunch or dinner.
But what if you’re going to play longer? What if you’re going on an overnight stay and figure to get in, say, 10 hours of play? Do you have to multiply two-hour bankroll requirements byfive?
No, you don’t. Longer sessions smooth things out a bit. For 10 hours of quarter play on 9-6 Jacks or Better, the bankroll for a 5 percent risk of ruin doesn’t quintuple from $165 to $825.Instead, it’s less than tripled, at $450, while the bankroll requirement for 8-5 Jacks rises to $570.
On the more volatile Double Double Bonus Poker, that $300 bankroll for a 5 percent risk or ruin for two hours rises to $885. That’s a big chunk of cash, but at least it’s not the $1,500 you getwhen multiplying the $300 by five. On the 8-5 version, the bankroll needed for 10 hours is $1,010, and that’s one reason I just won’t play 8-5 Double Double Bonus Poker.
