VIDEO POKER WINING GUIDE
In order to win at video poker I strongly suggest you to
learn in this fashion:
1. Always Play Maximum Coin - Because the fifth coin bonus
is figured into long term payouts of the machine, you will
not be able to achieve maximum payout over the long run
unless you play all 5 coins. If you don't play maximum
coins, you will not beat the machine over the long haul.
2. Only Play Full Pay Machines- While it is true that it
is possible to get 100%+ payouts at video poker, you must
be aware that only some machines will pay out at these
rates. These machines are known as full payout machines
because if played correctly , the machine, and therefore
the casino, will have no built in advantage over the
player.
Given below is an example of a common full payout schedule
for Jacks or Better Video Poker. Often, It is referred to
as a 9-6 machines since the payouts for the Full House and
Flush are 9 coins and 6 coins respectively. Although video
poker machines have 5 payout columns, only two columns are
important:
- The 1st coin column so you can identify what the payout
schedule is.
- The 5th coin column so you can identify how much the Royal
Flush Jackpot (bonus) is.
Because of this only two columns will be shown here. So
here is a sample Jacks or Better 9/6 4000 coin payout
schedule:
