Sorry, i don't know anything about calculating payout % or something, but when i look their Aces & Faces, Tens or better, Deuces & Joker and Five Jokers VP (games preview), i see that it is not normal "play 1 to 5 coins", it is "play 1 to 6 coins". Weird.

If you input their payout to winpoker, it will report a 120%+ payout.
However, the 120%+ payout is only for king's or better and lucky chance offer payout at jacks or better! that would add a lot to the total payout.
My estimate is that it's between 135-140% for a fair game.
When I first played there, I hit a joker RF (yep, it pays the same as natual RF!) so my payout was indeed 131%. The second time I played a lot more hands (1200 hands) and the payout was about 99%, which is not too bad with their generous bonus program but still ery unlikely with their paytable.
I stopped playing there because if they can rig the payout, they can make me loose no matter how crazy their payout is set.
Give them a try if you want, but you have been warned.

I agree did not download the software, but I looked at the help file. The paytable would be OK for regular JoB, but totally unsustainable for joker poker.

Sadly true. I'll check with our new GM to see what our current policy is but in the past we've made a point of backing away from casinos that had a substantiated reputation for "suspect" games and/or payouts.

Believe me, if this casino is offering a VP game with a payout at 120%+ it is offering a rigged game.

I know the casino is being advertised at Winneronline which may mislead people that its a reputable place to play at. I know max doesn't have anything to do with the advertising policy.
Me and hhc have tested and proven that their VP is rigged. Their BJ is also ery suspect despite having favourable rules such as early surrender and drawing to split aces. I have heard numerous stories of bad losing streaks with their BJ and can confirm this from my experience too. I suspect that their games are set to percentage payouts like slots because they do not play like the real game. After all we can't all be that unlucky........
They do pay quick but you've been warned...
