The problem is, unless you hit the royal flushes as expected (approx 40,000 hands for JOB) your EV will not be positive.
I don't make it to Atlantic City as much as I used to, but I stayed on the +EV side with video poker for many years and made quite a bit of money with it. You will have to do some research as to which one gives you the most. Some casinos give great comps/cashback, and some don't. depending on the casino, you can make it worth your while. The difference in these games is the variance is higher and the strategies are tougher to learn.Īs for whether or not it is worth it, that depends on you. Full Pay Deuces wild will return 100.77% with optimal strategy, 10/7 Double Bonus gives 100.17%, and some other games can be positive such as Full Pay Double Joker Poker. Now, JOB is probably the easiest game to learn and is one of the best out there to gain an edge because of this, however, it is not the best game as far as EV goes. What denomination are we talking about? If dollars, the jackpot would need to be around $4900 to be at break-even EV, 50-cents, around $2450, and 25-cents around $1225 (assuming I did my math correctly )
