Video Poker- 8 Tips To Hit Jackpot

Only 21% of all the hands dealt are winning hands and this is a fact. The other 79% are pretty much losers. The reason there is a difference between losers and winners is because the winner knows what to do with 79% of the hands dealt.

If you want to increase your chances of making money and winning at video poker, promise loyalty and embrace the following tips.

Select a machine that gives a payment of 6 for flush wins and nine for full house wins.

A progressive machine would pay five for a flush win and eight for a full house win and if you would rather play with one of these then make sure that the quarter machine offers to pay at least $2,500 or at least 10000 dollars on a dollar video poker machine, and the nickel machine offers to pay a jackpot of at least 250 dollars.

You must remember to bet on the maximum coins to collect royal flush bonus from a progressive machine.

If you are new at playing, it is recommended that you play with the least denomination on the machine. You can play with higher denomination once you get better at video poker.

To get playing credit, use the slot card, if he casino has such arrangements. First you must find out each dollar’s point equivalent. Then you must find out the worth of those earned points.

Read every hand that you get patiently. As your opponent is not another person, you are not going to be pressed for time, so you can play as slowly as you want.

A common mistake is that people think that the ace is the most vital card. But it is actually the jack that is the most vital. It is more lucratively advantageous than the ace.

There are an endless number of video pokers you could play. But each has its own specific strategy. If you still in the learning stages, restrict your choice to two.

Play a portable video poker game or on the computer to improve your skills at it. There are zero risks involved in testing your skills.

Here are some tips for playing:

1. If you hold your pair with a kicker, your payoff reduces by 5%.

2. If it is possible for you to draw three and achieve a royal flush, avoid drawing four cards.

3. Except while drawing a one card royal flush, stay on a five card hand that is winning.

4. Do not ever draw one and try for the straight flush by breaking a flush.

5. Break your flush only to draw royal flush.

6. Never draw the straight flush by breaking your straight.

7. If you are holding a jack or something better, avoid drawing five.

8. Never leave a four or a ten card draw.

Video Poker Introduction

David Walker asked:


If you enjoy being involved in live poker games then you will love video poker. The rules for video poker are normally the same as the rules for a live table game but in video poker you are playing against a machine rather than a group of people.

Video poker first became commercially viable when it became economical to combine a television monitor with a central processing unit. Early models appeared in the mid-1970s around the same time the first personal computers were introduced. However, these machines were rather primitive compared to the technology available today.

To play you must first deposit your money and, if given an opportunity screen, choose your game of choice followed by choosing which poker game variation you would like to play. You are then dealt a five card hand. You choose which cards you want to hold and which ones to discard. The new cards are dealt and you either win or lose.

A lot of people who are intimidated in a live poker game actually prefer to play video poker. The game is growing in popularity online as well because there isn’t that much of a difference in the online type and the bricks and mortar casino versions.

Newer video poker machines employ variants of the basic five-card draw but the best return on your money is often found on the “Jacks are Better” variation of the game because you are paid twice the amount of your bet for a pair of Jacks or better and usually the payout for three of a kind is three times your bet.

Some of the video poker machines offer a bonus feature at the end of the hand. You might have a double down or a high / low opportunity to double your winnings. Please exercise caution when playing this feature because this is usually a side bet designed to take back more than it pays out.

Video Poker is one of the best games online or off for the player if you give yourself the advantage by learning how to play the hands correctly. Always remember when playing any machine to bet the maximum coins allowed for maximum payouts.

One of the worst things that can happen to a video poker player is to play the minimum coins allowed and hit a Royal Flush. If you play the maximum number of coins in, you stand to win several thousand dollars.
