This Video Poker
Games
Glossary is divided into 3 parts that includes an Introduction.
Video Poker Games, technically slot machines, are categorized as strategy games at gamerisms. This glossary describes most of the VP versions available online and off.
Video Poker or VP strategy games require knowledge of paytable schedules to determine the more profitable versions to play and optimum strategy for each hand.
The first part or Introduction describes video poker paytables, top 10 versions and continues with the letters A-B of the video poker games glossary concluding with Extra Video Poker Quiz Questions.
The first rule 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.
