2 Ways Royal

Introduction

2 Ways Royal/Split Way Royal is a video poker game found at some Playtech and Betsoft Internet casinos. The thrust of the game is a 2-6 straight flush pays the same as a royal flush, 800x, based on a max coin bet.

Playtech calls the game 2 Ways Royal and Betsoft calls it Split Way Royal. They both use the same pay table shown below.

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.
