Hitting the Jackpot in Video Poker

If you are playing video poker then your goal should be to hit the jackpot. The reality is that hitting the jackpot is the only way to make playing video poker profitable in the long run. You are not going to grind away and make a profit in video poker. You need to hit a jackpot. How can you increase your chances?

There are going to be many decisions to make in video poker and although small, the percentages do change based on what decisions you make. Do you keep the small payoff or do you go for the longshot jackpot? For example, let’s say you are dealt an Ace of Hearts, 10 of Hearts, 4 of Diamonds, 5 of Diamonds, and 2 of Hearts. Many people will simply hold the Ace or hold the three hearts. Both of those strategies are wrong if you want to hit the jackpot. You need to hold the Ace and the 10 of hearts and go for the royal flush. And no, you won’t hit it about 99.9% of the time but by holding the Ace and the 10 you increased your chances. If you hold just the ace in that previous example you have no chance at hitting the royal.

If you want to hit the jackpots at online casino sites when playing video poker then you must take chances. In the short term it will cost you money but it will increase your chances of hitting it big.
