Royal Bonus Poker
Introduction
Royal Bonus Poker plays like conventional multi-play video poker, except the player may bet up to ten coins per play. If the player bets the full ten coins per play, a royal flush will pay 10,000. This equates to 1,000 per credit bet, which is 200 more than the usual 800.
The image above is taken with permission from VideoPoker.com
The increase in return, compared to the same pay table paying 800 for a royal, ranges from 0.48% to 0.54%, depending on the game. It tends to be about 0.52% for all games except deuces wild variants, in which case it is a little less at about 0.48%.
The following tables show my analysis for those pay tables available at VideoPoker.com. For other pay tables, I would look up the return for standard video poker and add 0.52%.
