There are three simple types of electronic-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 usually better and also the draw system is more straightforward.
What you’re really searching for can be a Jacks or Better device with a great payout table. The most effective pay-out schedule pays 9 to One for complete house and 6 to 1 for a flush. In gambler’s terms, this can be called a "9-6" machine, for obvious reasons. Various years ago, you could uncover a number of of these in most casinos, but they are now really hard to locate mainly because of the favorable (to you, not the house!) payout schedule.
Frequently, the finest pay-out you will be able to find is the next greatest one, which pays Eight to 1 for a full house and Five to 1 for a flush. On the other hand, this is a beneficial pay-out table if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus machine. A bonus device pays extra odds for hitting 4-of-a- kind for particular cards, like Twos, 3s, or Fours, or 3 other cards. The payout schedule has this details, so be sure to examine the payout table thoroughly before you bet on any machine.
Be certain to avoid machines that just pay 1 to 1 for 2 pairs. This ought to be the payout for any single pair of jacks or better. Two pair ought to pay 2 to 1. You cash will go much more rapidly if 2 pairs pays only One to 1.
Look for these payout tables and you will be playing with house advantage against you of One or 2% – some on the most effective odds in the casino.
