Video Poker Games Glossary: Paytables
The first rule to play video poker is for players to learn about paytables that will establish the best versions to play.
All VP payoffs are listed on the payout schedule at each machine. Paytables display how many coins are returned when you hit a certain hand playing 1 single coin or any number of coins to the max. of 5.
Example: for Jacks or Better, locate the 1 coin payouts listed on the far left side.
Scan down to the full house and flush. How many coins are paid for each under 1 coin?
The best version pays 9 coins for a full house and 6 coins for a flush and is a 9/6, ‘full-pay’ Jacks or Better game. Any lesser paytable is considered a ‘short-pay’ and the overall return is reduced.
Secondly, enthusiastic players should learn optimum strategy for each hand of a particular VP version in order to receive maximum overall payback.
