There are three basic types of video poker machines:

* Jacks or Better

* Deuces Wild

* Jokers Wild

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

What you’re really looking for is a Jacks or Better device with a good payout schedule. The finest payout schedule pays Nine to 1 for full home and 6 to 1 for a flush. In gambler’s terms, this is called a "Nine-6" machine, for obvious reasons. Several years ago, you could come across a number of of these in most casinos, but they are now extremely hard to discover since of the favorable (to you, not the casino!) payout table.

Often, the best payout you will be able to locate is the next best one, which pays Eight to 1 for a complete house and Five to One for a flush. However, this can be a excellent pay-out schedule if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus machine. A bonus device pays extra odds for hitting 4-of-a- sort for particular cards, such as Twos, 3s, or Fours, or three other cards. The payout schedule has this details, so be certain to examine the payout schedule meticulously before you bet on any device.

Be certain to avoid machines that only pay One to 1 for 2 pairs. This ought to be the pay-out for a single pair of jacks or better. Two pair must pay Two to 1. You money will go much faster if 2 pairs pays only One to One.

Look for these payout tables and you will be betting with casino edge against you of 1 or Twopercent – some in the most effective odds in the gambling house.
