There are 3 simple types of video poker machines:

* Jacks or Better

* Deuces Wild

* Jokers Wild

To keep things basic, we recommend you wager on only the Jacks or Better machines. The pay outs are usually better and also the draw strategy is much more straightforward.

What you’re really looking for can be a Jacks or Improved device with a very good payout schedule. The most effective payout schedule pays Nine to 1 for full home and 6 to One for a flush. In gambler’s terms, this can be called a "9-6" machine, for obvious reasons. A number of years ago, you could locate a number of of these in most casinos, but they are now quite hard to discover because of the favorable (to you, not the house!) pay-out table.

Usually, the greatest payout you’ll be able to come across is the next most effective one particular, which pays 8 to One for any full house and 5 to 1 for a flush. On the other hand, this is a very good payout schedule if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus device. A bonus device pays extra odds for hitting four-of-a- type for particular cards, like Twos, 3s, or 4s, or three other cards. The pay-out schedule has this info, so be certain to read the payout schedule meticulously before you play any machine.

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

Look for these pay-out schedules and you’ll be competing with house edge against you of One or Twopercent – some in the best odds in the casino.
