There are three basic types of video-poker machines:

* Jacks or Better

* Deuces Wild

* Jokers Wild

To keep things basic, we recommend you play only the Jacks or Better machines. The payouts are normally greater and the draw system is a lot more straightforward.

What you’re truly searching for can be a Jacks or Greater machine with a excellent payout table. The best pay-out table pays Nine to 1 for full home and Six to 1 for any flush. In gambler’s terms, this really is called a "9-6" machine, for obvious reasons. A number of years ago, you could come across many of these in most casinos, but they are now very hard to come across simply because of the favorable (to you, not the casino!) pay-out schedule.

Often, the finest payout you will be able to find is the next greatest 1, which pays Eight to 1 for a full house and Five to One for a flush. Nevertheless, this is a excellent pay-out table if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus device. A bonus machine pays extra odds for hitting four-of-a- type for particular cards, such as Twos, Threes, or Fours, or 3 other cards. The pay-out table has this data, so be sure to look over the payout schedule meticulously before you play any machine.

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

Look for these payout schedules and you’ll be competing with casino edge against you of One or 2% – some with the greatest odds within the gambling house.
