Good Times Pay
Introduction
I discovered a variant called Good Times Pay at the Suncoast casino on February 20, 2009. This is an additional feature on a classic triple-play video poker machine. By betting five coins for each hand, it functions like a normal triple-play game. If players decide to wager one to five extra coins, they activate random multipliers for their hands. From a set of 30 multipliers, three will be selected, and one will be assigned to each hand. I observed that all the games I reviewed demonstrated a consistent pattern in multiplier distribution.
Good Times Pay
| Multiplier | 6 Coins Bet | 7 Coins Bet | 8 Coins Bet | 9 Coins Bet | 10 Coins Bet |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 | 7 | 7 | 10 | 10 |
| 1 | 25 | 21 | 19 | 16 | 15 |
| Average | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.6 | 1.8 | 2 |
The average of these multipliers reflects the actual fair cost.
To achieve the best strategic return for any specific pay table, refer to the extensive video poker resources I've compiled. The Good Times Pay variant includes these games:- Jacks or Better
- Bonus Poker
- Bonus Poker Deluxe
- Double Bonus
- Double Double Bonus
- Triple Double Bonus
- Deuces Wild
