Learn Video Poker Basics Before Betting

When sitting down to a table or before video poker betting at an online video poker casino, be sure and take the time to learn video poker basics.

In Video Poker winning hands are paid in multiples of the coins bet, with the
   exception of the royal flush, which can be a larger, set amount or part of a 
   progressive jackpot.

There are approximately 2.6 million five-card hands possible in a 52-card deck. The actual frequency for winning hands, following a deal and draw, are shown in the table below:

High pair (Jacks, Queens, 
Kings and Aces)
43 out of every 200 hands
Two pair 13 out of every 100 hands
Three of a kind 1 out of every 13 hands
Straight 1 out of every 90 hands
Flush 1 out of every 92 hands
Full house 1 out of every 97 hands
Four of a kind 1 out of every 423 hands
Straight flush 1 out of every 9,610 hands
Royal flush 1 out of every 40,120 hands

Tips and Strategy for Video Poker (Jacks or Better):

Control a predetermined bankroll and satisfied with a 60-80 percent take over your initial investment. For Example set aside $100 and lose it, quit; if you can get back $160 or more, leave a winner.

Play only if you can make the maximum bet. If you only have 2 coins left,
you're better off holding on to them until you can find three more for a five-coin play.

The best deal (pre-draw) are shown at the top of the lists in descending order. 
If none of the pre-draw are in the table, draw a full new hand.
