> Not reflected in the value is the fact that (I suspect) the Dream Card has a co-variance intensifying effect somewhat comparable to a Joker, ensuring multiplay has a much wilder ride than the base variance of 22 would suggest.
Possibly, but the dream card is 50-50, at least for jacks, whereas the joker is more like 10-90. Dream card significantly increases dealt royals, which will significantly decrease the covariance.
I think the interesting thing about this game is what it will do to floor management. In addition to many gamblers, the floor also does not take into consideration the cost of hitting jackpots, so they're just going to see a lot of taxables/handpays on a video poker game by those who get lucky and either back them off and/or downgrade the paytables till their "perceived problem" (too many jackpots) goes away.
