There are 3 basic types of video poker machines:

* Jacks or Better

* Deuces Wild

* Jokers Wild

To keep things simple, we advise you compete on only the Jacks or Better machines. The pay outs are normally improved and the draw strategy is a lot more straightforward.

What you’re really looking for is really a Jacks or Much better device with a good payout schedule. The ideal payout table pays Nine to One for complete house and Six to 1 for any flush. In gambler’s terms, this really is called a "Nine-6" device, for obvious reasons. A number of years ago, you could discover many of these in most casinos, but they are now really hard to uncover due to the fact of the favorable (to you, not the casino!) payout table.

Regularly, the best pay-out you will be able to discover is the next finest a single, which pays Eight to One for any full home and Five to One for any flush. Even so, this is a very good pay-out table if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus machine. A bonus device pays extra odds for hitting four-of-a- sort for certain cards, such as 2s, 3s, or Fours, or 3 other cards. The pay-out schedule has this details, so be sure to read the pay-out schedule carefully before you bet on any machine.

Be certain to avoid machines that only pay 1 to 1 for 2 pairs. This should be the payout for a single pair of jacks or better. 2 pair must pay Two to 1. You cash will go much more rapidly if 2 pairs pays just One to 1.

Look for these payout tables and you’ll be playing with house edge against you of One or Two% – some with the ideal odds in the casino.
