Video Poker for Sands and Omni Casinos. Worth it?

[Elim99]

It looks like Sands and Omni are 30X for Video Poker. Ev of $47? House Advantage of 1.75% for cryptos from what I have seen. The HA is worst then most other casino groups.

Anyone bother with these bonuses?

I haven't done them myself, but plan to. As I understand it, crypto offer 'Double Bonus Video Poker' with a 99.1% payback, making it the best game to play. The strategy can be found by googling. Other options are 'Bonus Video Poker' (not to be confused with Double Bonus), which gives a bonus if you are redealt a card you discarded originally. The payback is 98.6% with the Jacks or Better variety of this, so it is pretty good.

As always, details are at the Wizard of Odds website.

So it looks like the EV of Double Bonus Jacks or Better is +$73. The variance is larger but it appears worth doing. My normal $5 bets may lead to much much variance though.
