# 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 <id>` 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 <count>` 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/`.
