# Video poker cabinets The video poker hall east of Penny Reels (6118) is three rooms. The parlor (6192) runs low pay schedules, the high-limit room (6193) normal schedules, and the VIP room (6194) full pay schedules. Each holds the same five single-seat cabinets: Classic, Ultimate X Single Line, Ultimate X Multi-Hand, Super Times Pay, and Hot Roll. Choose a game **inside** a cabinet; schedules are not games. The shared table lifecycle adapter provides room routing, wallet settlement, disconnect and eviction handling, so author cabinets under `casino_tables`: ```yaml casino_tables: - id: uxm game: video_poker max_players: 1 video_poker: cabinet: ultimate_x_multi payout: full ``` `cabinet` accepts `classic`, `ultimate_x_single`, `ultimate_x_multi`, `super_times_pay`, `hot_roll`. `payout` accepts `low`, `normal`, `full` and is the house's setting: players cannot change it. Defaults are classic/full. Do not author variant/pay_table/feature/single_line; strict YAML validation rejects those obsolete fields. Do not use table wager limits to set coin denominations. Each cabinet has one occupant, but multiple cabinets may share a room and are addressed by ID. Short room ids (`vp`, `ux`, `uxm`, `stp`, `hr`) and cabinet aliases (`poker`, `ultimate_x`, `super_times`, `hot_roll`) keep `play` concise. ## Games and quality tiers Each row below lists **low / normal / full** schedules. The authored tier applies to all games on that cabinet; selecting a different game preserves it. These are published schedules, not interpolated payouts. The tier names rank the offered schedules within a game/cabinet; they do not imply equal RTP across games. Some classic full schedules exceed 100% with optimal play. | Game | Classic | UX Single | UX Multi | STP | Hot Roll | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Jacks or Better | 7/5, 8/5, 9/6 | 8/5, 8/6, 9/6 | 7/5, 8/5, 8/6 | 7/5, 8/5, 9/6 | 8/5, 9/5, 9/6 | | Bonus Poker | 6/5, 7/5, 8/5 | 6/5, 7/5, 8/5 | omitted | 6/5, 7/5, 8/5 | omitted | | Bonus Poker Deluxe | 8/5, 9/5, 9/6 | 8/5, 8/6, 9/6 | 7/5, 8/5, 8/6 | omitted | omitted | | Double Bonus | 9/6/4, 9/7, 10/7 | 9/6/4, 9/6/5, 9/7 | 9/5/4, 9/6/4, 9/6/5 | 9/6/4, 9/6/5, 9/7 | omitted | | Double Double Bonus | 8/5, 9/6, 10/6 | 8/5, 9/5, 9/6 | 8/5, 9/5, 9/6 | 8/5, 8/6, 9/6 | 8/5, 9/5, 9/6 | | Deuces Wild | C | U | U | C | omitted | | Joker Poker (Kings or Better) | J | J | J | omitted | omitted | - C: 20/12/10/4/4/3, 25/15/9/4/4/3, 25/15/9/5/3/2. - U: 25/16/13/4/3/2, 20/12/10/4/4/3, 25/15/9/4/4/3. - J: 50/15/7/5/3, 50/16/7/5/3, 50/17/7/5/3. - Double Bonus 9/7 and 10/7 pay five for straights; three-part names explicitly identify full-house/flush/straight rates. - Bonus Poker has only two sourced UX Multi schedules; it is omitted rather than inventing a third tier. Other omissions are deliberately conservative, not claims that no physical edition exists. | Edition | Supported hands | |---|---| | Classic Jacks or Better | 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 | | Other classic games | 1 | | Ultimate X Single | 1 | | Ultimate X Multi | 3, 5, 10 | | Super Times Pay | 1, 3, 5, 10 | | Hot Roll | 3, 5, 10 | ## Player controls - `play ` seats you; `game` lists games; `game jacks` (or a full game name) selects one. The house sets the payout tier when the cabinet is authored in YAML; players cannot change it. - While seated at any casino game, casino verbs may be shortened to an unambiguous prefix: `b 1000` is `bet 1000`, and `be 1000` also works. `stop` and `rules` must be typed in full. - `denom 1|10|50` / `denomination` sets credits per coin. - `hands` lists counts; `hands ` selects one. - `bet 1-4` **adds** coins, capped at five per hand. `bet max` loads five. Bare `bet` / `rebet` repeats the previous selection, initially five. - Loading neither charges nor deals. Explicit bets show the pay table; bare bet does not. `deal` charges the full wager and reveals five cards. - `531`, `1 3 5`, or `hold 531` **toggles** holds. Repeating the command releases those cards; duplicate digits within one command toggle only once. `hold none` is not supported. `draw` or seated `d` finishes the hand. Away from video poker, `d` retains down movement. - `feature on|off` toggles the cabinet's bonus between rounds. - `paytable`, `look`, `table rules` redisplay; `rules` opens the cabinet guide. `list` retains available-wagers semantics and is not a pay-table command. - `stop` leaves between rounds. Disconnect completes the current holds. ## Bonuses Feature ON requires five base coins per hand. UX and Hot Roll add five coins (10 total); STP adds one (6 total). Fees never increase the base payout. - **Ultimate X:** each line's current multiplier applies to its payout. Enabled wins earn next-hand multipliers using the published single/3/5/10-play award schedules. Awards never compound. Feature OFF collects existing multipliers without earning new ones. `NEXT X` shows awards for the selected hand count. - **Super Times Pay:** a pre-deal 1/15 trigger awards a shared multiplier. Conditional 2x/3x/4x/5x/8x/10x probabilities are 17/33/16/24/6/4 percent. - **Hot Roll:** a pre-deal 1/6 trigger rolls two fair dice; their sum multiplies every line. STP and Hot Roll have no next-hand bank. Ultimate X multiplier banks belong to the **machine**, not the player: another occupant inherits them, and they persist on disk under `data/casino/video_poker_banks/`. ## Sources Published schedules, award tables and feature rules: - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/ultimate-x-single-line/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/ultimate-x/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/super-times-pay/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/hot-roll/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/jacks-or-better/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/bonus-poker/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/bonus-poker-deluxe/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/deuces-wild/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/double-bonus/ - https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/tables/double-double-bonus/ - https://www.videopoker.com/games/ (single/multi/hundred-play editions) Presentation internals and durable-bank transaction details are in [../dev_guide/video_poker.md](../dev_guide/video_poker.md).
