The Wizard has analyzed 'GUARANTEED PLAY' video-poker.

http://wizardofodds.com/guaranteedplay

Even with perfect play (that no human can even do) the payout was in the 95-96% range.

So I do not like them, I am sure they will also be offered at higher house edge, but worse of all, they are just a lower variance version of the same non-guaranteed game. And this is the opposite of what most gamblers want I think, especially for high house edge games. You do not want to play a 50% payout lottery if highest price is *3 bet etc. But if it is 1M*bet, then there is some appeal in the bet which makes up for the higher house edge.

But if you truly just want to be entertained and do not care about winnings, then this game is good, but actually you should instead consider lowering your bet-size which will make the session last longer.

In case you are in doubt, I do not like this concept.
