Don't play 25 hands deuces wild at 5dimes, payouts were changed

[TheCentaur]

I posted the following hits while playing under an old payout schedule at 5dimes. Not long after I posted this and said players have a fighting chance at this game the odds were changed to increase the house advantage by about 2.5%, which is pretty huge in video poker. Just wanted to let you know, avoid playing this until they reinstate the better payout. I'll let you know if I see it changed back.

[milwaukee mike]

what exactly changed odds?

[TheCentaur]

They changed the payout schedule. I didn't notice it until I had given back about $700.

[boeing power]

Dont play online casinos, the house edge is 99.9 %.

I will let you know when these odds change.

[milwaukee mike]

yeah but i mean what specifically on the payout schedule (for example 4 of a kind went from 32 to 30)

[TheCentaur]

The straight flush, 5 of a kind, and wild royal (payouts were 10,16,25 respectively) were reduced (9,12,20 respectively)

I'm not saying 5dimes isn't well within their rights to do this, but I don't want to tout or mislead people by saying they have a fighting chance at a game that has since had odds worsened.

[TheCentaur]

It used to payout around 99.6% with perfect play and now I think it is around 97% with the changes. Hopefully they change them back at some point.
