A REAL FIVE-CARD DEAL, NOT WEIGHTED REELS
The Velvet Bandit
Every spin deals five real cards from a freshly shuffled deck: every hand pays something, and any pair is a win.
How it plays
Every spin deals five cards from a freshly shuffled 52-card deck, server-side. The reels are a real poker hand, not weighted slot symbols, so the odds are the true odds of the deck.
Every hand pays something, and any pair is a win: a pair of tens or lower pays 1.2× your stake, jacks or better 1.5×, and up from there. A high card returns a tenth of your stake: the machine says what came back rather than dressing it up as a win.
Set your own stake from your wallet, never your table stack, and pull whenever you like: the reels step aside the moment the action reaches you at the table, so a spin never costs you a hand.
