The poker room in Las Vegas that everyone is talking about is the room at Red Rock, clearly the best and brightest of the new Off-the-Strip rooms. Red Rock is, in fact, on a par with some of the best of the big rooms on Las Vegas Boulevard. It is worth the trip out Charleston Blvd. To see what is arguably the best of the 'outer ring' casinos. Treasure Island is probably the best blackjack casino on the Strip. Most of the time, I suggest trying to find a single deck game, but the six-deck game at Treasure Island has better odds. In fact, even if you play with perfect strategy, the house edge on the single deck game at Treasure Island is almost 1.7%.
The Red Rock Resort is located in the Las Vegas suburb of Summerlin. It is located in the far western edge of the Las Vegas Valley. The casino opened on April 18, 2006. It is owned by Station Casinos, the largest operator in the Las Vegas locals’ gaming market. Red Rock is the flagship of Station Casinos.

If you're expecting a 105.22% payback and don't hit your sequential royal that pays 11% of the total payback, you're really playing a 94.25% machine. You'll need that sequential royal to break even.
This is exactly correct.. There is less than 1 in a million chance (per deal) of making a sequential royal - and 11% of your equity is tied up in this long-shot. If you don't make a reversible royal, then this is a dog of a VP game.
And if you do hit the $40,000 jackpot remember that it will be reported to the IRS and income tax will take a bite out of it. It's difficult to be an AP.

Good news: The jackpot is almost twice as much.
Good news: Better base pay tables.
Bad news: Jackpot requires betting 10 coins (as opposed to 5 coins for the games by the Starbucks in the food court)
All things considered, the returns are nearly the same:
Starbucks: 105.22%
Buffet: 105.26%
The expected win per hour (assuming 1,000 bets per hour) is also much better:
Starbucks: $14.33/hr.

This is not the way any decent career AP looks at expected value. The play has an hourly EV and a variance per hand. Over a very long time frame, the standard deviation of an AP's results is determined only by their accumulated variance. There are a number of tools available to calculate risk of ruin and bankroll requirements. If an AP has an appropriate bankroll such that the the RoR is low, then the only question is is the EV/hour worth it versus other opportunities. The Kelly criteria are another way of deciding the same question. If the max bet is 25 or 50 cents and Kelly says you could risk $2 per hand if that was an option, then your bankroll is adequate to play this game.
There is no basis for removing any of the winning hands from the EV without putting it in context of bankroll calculations. For every single-line VP game that I know of, the most likely result over a session of exactly one hand is a 100% loss. Extending the logic of the comment above, I need a paying hand to get any ROI and I am unlikely to get a paying hand. Therefore, I should eliminate all paying hands from my EV calculation and assign every VP game with a 0% ROI if I intend to only play one hand. This is absurd.
The real question is does the gambler have the bankroll and stomach to undertake the variance offered by the opportunity. I have a cell in my spreadsheet that tracks my estimated variance for VP play. I have an accumulated lifetime variance of 140B dollars2 just from video poker and more from other forms of gambling. If I estimate that the total is really 160B dollars2, the square root of this is $400K. My lifetime standard deviation is roughly +/- $400K. If I added one SRF chase, it would be a drop in the ocean compared to my lifetime variance -- whether or not I hit the SRF.
Even if you don't have great records, you can easily estimate how much variance you incur in a year doing what you already do. You can see how this play stacks up in comparison to your other gambling. Variance is simply additive. Over the long term, a million dollars2 variance from chasing a SRF progressive is the same as a a million dollars2 of variance from blackjack. The variance of the game in the OP is about 18K.
I returned to the Red Rock today to investigate Alan's game.
Good news: The jackpot is almost twice as much.

The expected win per hour (assuming 1,000 bets per hour) is also much better:
Starbucks: $14.33/hr.
Buffet: $23.63/hr.
ie: that the starbucks game is .25 and the buffet one is nickels.
and what are pay tables offered at the buffet ones?

Would you say Powerball is a positive EV if you factor in the one in a billion chance of hitting the top prize?
The game in question will return 94% to the thousands of people who play it and 105% to the one person who basically gets hit by lightning. To say that the game has an Ev of $ten dollars or more an hour seems very wrong as every person who plays it, with one exception is playing a very poor game.
If a casino had a blackjack game where the dealer won all ties, but it offered a million-dollar prize if every player at the table got a suited BJ, and the dealer got a BJ in spades, would you call that game a +EV?

you might want to clarify how come the buffet game is so much more per hr profit.
ie: that the starbucks game is .25 and the buffet one is nickels.
and what are pay tables offered at the buffet ones?
It's mainly because you can bet twice as much at the buffet games. The pay tables are stated in my article.

Isn't the buffet 60% less than the Starbucks game? 10 nickels versus 5 quarters?
And again, there will be no escaping the Tax Man on a $40K or $80K jackpot. It is non-trivial to claim gambling losses to offset a big win, and with the standard deduction at about $20k it may be hard to avoid the tax man altogether. It may still be positive EV after taxes but these are factors worth mentioning.
