Reason #3 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Excellent Odds
In my opinion many online casinos are too stingy when setting the odds on their games. They think they will make more money that way but I believe they are misguided, because when players lose too quickly it's not fun, and those players might not come back.
Bodog is one of the few casinos that understands this.
They offer generous odds to let you play longer and get you a better chance of winning. Among their generous offerings are Full-Pay Jacks or Better returning 99.54%, six other video poker games paying over 99%, single-zero roulette, and my favorite, Pick 'em Poker, returning 99.95%!
Kudos to Bodog for not being afraid to give their players a good gamble. (Visit Bodog)

4-5 Bonus Poker
Last update: April 15, 2006
4-5 Bonus Poker is a video poker game I noticed at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on April 8, 2006. The game plays like conventional video poker except the player only gets four cards on the deal. The makes it harder to get strong hands going into the draw, but the game compensates with a more generous pay table.
It was a Saturday night when I saw the game and every machine was taken. So the best I could do was copy down one pay table (Bonus Poker) as I lurched over a stranger's shoulder taking notes.
The following return table shows the pay table, probability, and return for each hand.
