Video Poker Tips
Concerning the Jacks or Better machine, a player will be better able to nickel and dime their way to some small gains while going for the big one in the royal flush. But the trick is to not get caught up too much in the nickel and diming since the real riches await with a big score when one gets the royal flush.

But relax as the royal flush only comes once every 25,000 hands or so meaning one will play a lot of poker before ever seeing one. The key to remember though during this whole time is to make preparations for hitting the royal flush by always betting the 5 coin maximum allowed and by breaking up some of the mid-range money making hands like straights and flushes when serious royal flush opportunities knock.

And even though a person will make some money back with a jacks or better hand, they should even get rid of these when a real royal flush chance is on the board as it’s much better to get something that could provide a return of 4,000 times what one bet versus taking the safe route and only winning a single bet back. If a person doesn’t even have one jack or better in their hand, then they should discard all 5 of their cards and go for a new hand.

Regarding the Deuces Wild 9-5 machine, this one has some different aspects to it from the Jacks or Better since any 2 a person holds is a wild card and only three of a kind makes any money back in this situation. That being said, it’s not any tougher to play than the 9-6 game as it just requires one to be more alert so that they make sure never to discard a 2 as these are crucial to getting royal flushes in the game.

If players have one or two cards in the royal flush range and a couple of 2’s, then they should go for it every time unless they’re lucky enough to be holding a straight flush as these pay out really well too. Another tip is that unpaired jacks or better and even paired jacks or better are worthless in this game unless accompanied by a 2. The reason being is the aforementioned thing about only three of a kinds making any cash back.

Two pairs are another thing that should be broken apart in Deuces Wild 9-5 since they also won’t be making any money for a person. If one find themselves with a two pair, they should get rid of one of the pairs and keep the other one if they are looking for a three of a kind. It’s just not worth it to keep both pairs and go for the full house.
