Electronic Poker – Select the Most Favorable Machines

April 2nd, 2010 No comments

There are three simple types of video poker machines:

* Jacks or Better

* Deuces Wild

* Jokers Wild

To keep things fundamental, we recommend you compete on only the Jacks or Better machines. The payouts are usually better and also the draw strategy is more straightforward.

What you’re genuinely searching for can be a Jacks or Improved device with a very good payout schedule. The greatest payout schedule pays 9 to One for full house and 6 to One for a flush. In gambler’s terms, this really is called a "9-Six" machine, for obvious reasons. Several years ago, you could come across many of these in most casinos, but they are now very hard to locate simply because of the favorable (to you, not the house!) payout schedule.

Regularly, the most effective payout you’ll be able to discover is the next best a single, which pays Eight to One for any full home and Five to One for any flush. On the other hand, this can be a very good payout table if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus machine. A bonus machine pays extra odds for hitting 4-of-a- sort for certain cards, such as Twos, Threes, or 4s, or 3 other cards. The pay-out schedule has this information, so be sure to examine the pay-out table thoroughly before you compete on any machine.

Be sure to avoid machines that just pay One to One for 2 pairs. This should be the pay-out for any single pair of jacks or better. Two pair need to pay Two to 1. You cash will go much more rapidly if 2 pairs pays only 1 to One.

Look for these pay-out tables and you will be playing with house edge against you of One or Two% – some on the best odds in the casino.
