BEST GAME FOR TRIPLE PLAY
Triple play has become my favorite game...On the $.25 machine I
usually play DDB or TDB...Of all the games offered in Triple play and
assuming the pay table is acceptable, and I play with pretty good
accuracy, which game offers the best odds or are they all about the
same? I play at RR or GVR .

What are you looking for in the "best odds?"Some people might be looking at the game's overall long term return potential. Some might prioritize low variance, or the opportunity for big wins in a short session.If you are looking for the best overall return then the exact pay tables are what you will need to determine this.The Optimum Pay (or is it Optimum Play) machines at these two casinos will have all the best paying pay tables, but the club points will be lower at the same time on those specific machines.It really depends on what your goals are.I believe the full pay Deuces Wild and Double Bonus are the two highest returning pay tables at those locations, assuming you play them perfectly.

Life was a lot easier before things got so analytical....I somewhat relish
the days of coin in and out and no concern for pay tables...However that said
what I'm looking for is the game such as DW or DDB, DB etc. that has the best RETURN FOR MY MONEY WITH $200 INVESTED IN THE MACHINE.That would probably fall under the the short session scenario There are so many individual games offered on the triple play
machines and I've always wondered if one is preferable to another...I do play
the Optimum machines but they are not offered on the triple play format..... I
tend to like the opportunity to get the bonus hits such as the A's...2,3,4
kickers etc...I realize that on the triple play I have to invest more money but
It's worth it as I only get to gamble about 5 times a year....

Sorry, I completely overlooked the Triple Play part of your message. I don't think the full pay tables are available there in multi-line as you said."Best return" on $200 is hard to judge with that alone. The odds are high enough that your return could be zero. A pay table that returns 101% over time won't return 101% for a single session. Some $200 sessions will come out way ahead, some will go broke, and some will be somewhere in the middle depending on how long you play that $200. And you will of course be earning points while you play if that is important to you. You might be looking for the best odds to come out ahead, the best odds to break even, the best odds to win back 50% of your bankroll... it depends on your goals.But if kickers are your thing, it's easier. You definitely want to play something you will enjoy. My best advice is to decide what game you want to play that you know well...If it's DDB then you just need to find the best triple play pay table available for DDB on the floor, assuming they have a variety of pays set up for triple play machines.Do a quick hunt on the floor to see if they have a mix of 9/6 and 9/5 machines. If they have both, play the 9/6. I have never heard a good argument for playing a lower pay table that is across the floor from a better one. So if there is 9/6 and 9/5... 9/6 will give you your best bet. That was a lot of words to get to that point. The importance of understanding pay tables is that a machine with a better pay table will return more money with the exact same cards. And I have never seen evidence that you get better cards on a lower paying machine, so there really isn't any reason to play one if you are savvy.

That's about what I figured but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something..The TP at RR and GV are mostly 9/6.
