Cripple Creek video poker

During our October 2021 visit to Cripple Creek casinos, there were seven types of video poker that we found playable. The theoretical payback percentages shown in the following list assume that the player is betting five coins and using perfect strategy.

Games with progressives show the return before accounting for the meters. The two numbers used are the full house/flush payouts in games without wild cards. For Deuces Wild, it is 16/10 for five of a kind/straight flush in Not-so-ugly-deuces and 15/9 for the other Deuces Wild pay table mentioned.

Bronco Billy’s

The bad news out of Bronco Billy’s is that the 10/6 Double Double Bonus bar machines are gone. The part of the building where they were was knocked down for a remodel. We did not find the game anywhere else in the casino. The best games left are Not-so-ugly-deuces and 9/7 Double Bonus. Both are available in quarter and dollar denominations. Double Bonus can be played at $5, too. The $1 Double Bonus has a progressive.
