Some readers have questioned my claim that the low royal is 2-6, saying it is A-5. To prove it is 2-6 I present the following screenshot, which another reader sent in.

Prior to December 9, 2009, I incorrectly stated the return of this game was 99.13%. A few readers pointed out that vpgenius.com claimed the return for the above pay table was 99.7977%, which I now agree with. For the earlier error, I apologize.
