Video Poker Payouts

It is all about the payouts when you play online video poker. The goal is obviously to hit a jackpot but to do that you need to get the most money back when you are playing the machines. What are the machines you should be playing and which ones should you avoid?

The most popular video poker machines are the Jacks or Better machines. The machines you want to play are the 9/6 machines. You don’t want to be playing 8/5 machines and you definitely don’t want any part of 6/5 machines. What exactly does 9/6, 8/5 and 6/5 refer to?

The 9/6 refers to the payouts for a full house and a flush. The payout for a full house is 9 coins while it is 6 coins for a flush. With an 8/5 machine you get 8 coins for a full house and 5 for a flush while a 6/5 machine has you getting 6 coins as a payout for a full house and 5 for a flush.

The payouts on a 9/6 machine are 1,000 coins for a royal flush, 50 for a straight flush, 25 for four of a kind, 9 for a full house, and 6 for a flush. The payouts with an 8/5 and a 6/5 are the same except for the full house and a flush which are 8/5 and 6/5 respectively.

Always make sure to choose a 9/6 machine when you are playing Jacks or Better video poker at the online casino.
