fstuff1 Posted January 27 #1 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Come on Blue Chip. You can at least be competitive with NCL and come close with something like 98.5% return! Edited January 27 by fstuff1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are sites such as WizardofOdds. https://wizardofodds.com/games/ If you go to that site he has the odds and strategies for just about every game. I have been following him for years. There is one section where you can plug in the payoff for the various VP games and get the odds. Another site is video poker.com https://www.videopoker.com/apps/ you can play, enter contests and etc. it is free but if you become a member for a small fee you get some premium benefits. happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Edited January 27 by miched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted January 28 #5 Share Posted January 28 @miched Interesting site - What I was trying to understand is how @fstuff1 new what the odds were on Celebrity Ships vs NCL. The subject included the odds - I'm not a gambler but enjoy statistics. To be honest I don't even know what a 7/5 JoB is. Best Video poker is triple play 7/5 JoB (96.1%) whereas NCL has 9/6 DDB (99%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Video poker is triple play 7/5 JoB (96.1%) whereas NCL has 9/6 DDB (99%). If you look at the sites mentioned it will show what the payoffs are for the machines. JOB ( jacks or better) 9/6 means that that you get paid 9 for 1 on the full house and 6 for 1 on the flush. That is how the payoffs are referred to. Look at the payoff tables for each game and look at the tables. On the sites I referred to you can enter the payoffs for the games and it will calculate the odds for the correct play. Naturally someone can play totally against what is considered the correct play and win a bigger payoff. I seen a player with a pat full house. Aces and kings. They kept an ace of hearts and king of hearts and hit a royal flush. if you want to have a chance of winning you need to study the games and practice playing on the free sites. Regular slots are basically pure luck but there is a little strategy involved. VP is luck and strategy. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Blue Chip Program had declined in the past 2 months since joining the Casino Royal program with RCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veinless Posted January 28 #8 Share Posted January 28 Wait so “Jacks or better” is about flushes and full houses, not about jacks?? What a weird term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHIP TRAVELER Posted January 28 #9 Share Posted January 28 (edited) I have seen 7-5 Bonus Poker on Princess but I have never ever seen anything even that good on X. Even for a dollar (X 5 bets) recently I have only seen 6-5 Jacks or Better which is a miserable 95%. I found a a slightly better dueces wild game buried in a three play/ ultimate X type game but very hidden. I still play but I think the miserable black jack game paying 6 for 5 is better odds than the video poker. All this said the slot machines are probably under 90% but there is no way to know that. Craps is the only game they can't mess with in the Casino and non-smoking counts for a lot. Edited January 28 by SHIP TRAVELER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokopelli-az Posted January 28 #10 Share Posted January 28 I think video poker machines are one of the only gambling machines that show you the odds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at all the deuces wild games (ult x, stp, non-gimmick versions) and all are lousy 10/8 versions.
