Re: [vpFREE] Re: Dream Card variance PSA

Ok, I've put in a good bit of play on the 5play double bonus (9/7) version of this game on the VideoPoker.com website and I believe this might be the most voracious money sucker I have every come across. People contemplating this game are going to need extraordinary patience, a lot of time, and an infinite bankroll.

fivespot, the variance of 10-play bonus poker is 1.91 times the variance of single line, for the same denomination and same amount of coin-in. So, you would have to find the very rare single line $1.91 game to emulate the variance of a $1 10-play. But a $2 single line comes fairly close.

Your comments about Dream Card are very pertinent.
