As you can see, the straight at 25 coins and full house at 45 coins is more generous than most Bonus VP schedules. Generous, too, are the KQJ quads plus the four aces, with or without a fifth card.
Not much of a strategy change for players, as it's second nature to hold Jacks or better with Bonus VP games, however a higher reward is yours with these versions. Therefore, if you are dealt two pair, one pair being Jacks+, it is best to hold that one higher paying pair to grab that quad payout.
Overall Average Payback = 100.35

This version is definitely a poorer imitation of its cousin above, however the better AKQJ quad payouts remain. The straight and full house is reduced by 5, but two pair is increased to ten with max. coin in play.
Holding both pairs, regardless of card rank is best here to collect at least the 10 coin reward and keep you in the game. Overall Average Payback results in a respectable 99.63%.
Yes, there are actually some VP versions and schedules we have not explored. I will save it for the next time we meet in cyberspace.
