Tips for video pokerMake sure you can "spare" the coins
Machines eat a lot of coins. It's a real bummer to start playing video poker and run out of coins before you manage to win some serious money. If you don't have 300-400 coins that you are willing to use up for this purpose - call it off, you can come play another time.
Use all the coins you are allowed to
There is always a maximum to the number of coins you can put in one machine. Usually, that number is five. Use up that maximum limit, don't leave machines so quickly.
Play the right machines
Play machines that have a payoff ratio of 9:1 for a Full House and 6:1 for a Flush. (Ratio of 45 to 5 coins and 30 to 5 coins, in accordance.)Or - play at machines that have a payoff ratio of 7:1 or 8:1 for a Full House and 5:1 for a Flush but also offer a four of a kind bonus: an 80:1 for four Aces and a 40:1 for four 2s, 3s, and 4s. Don't play machines that don't count hands ranking lower than two pairs, and that pay 1:1 for those. Don't play machines that play wild dueces. Unless you get four dueces, which is rear, you will simply be wasting your money.
Remember that machines are very random creatures
Many people make false assumptions when playing video games. A machine that just hit stands as much chances of hitting the next game than a machine that hasn't hit for a week. Its a random a device that does not have patterns. Its also a device that shuffles its "cards" every millisecond, so it really doesn't matter who played before you and whether they won. Its all RANDOM.
Give a chance to Royal Flushes
That's where the big money is, that's where you should aim for. If you have three or more cards that make part of a Royal Flush - keep them, don't draw new cards instead of them. Be ready to forfeit even four cards making a Straight Flush for this purpose. (Unless, maybe, it's got a 9-King hand potential, because it would be very hard to give up such a great hand.) However, if you have a three of a kind (which is already a win, as oppose to four making a Straight which is only a potential win) you should keep unto it, unless you don't think drawing and losing will make you ups
Royal Flush: winning the big money
Do you want to play for the BIG box?
Because a Royal Flush hand appears on an average of 1 out of every 40,000 hands you want to be sure you win big time if you happen to get it. That's why we would recommend playing at progressive machines. Make sure to play a machine that has at least 75% of the payoff amount in it. For example, a machine that has a payoff of $1000 should have in it already at least $750.
We would recommend playing SUPAJAX. The video poker game of SupaJax, based on Jacks or better, and is a progressive video poker game. All 5 coins that go into the machine, each of $1, go towards the progressive Jackpot. The sum of the Jackpot has a minimum of $5000. The highest sum ever won this way was scooped by a lucky player on the 9th of February, 2001. He stepped away from The Gaming Club Casino with $87,642.28 dollars in his pockets!
The chances of you walking away with that sum are not that great. However, winning a Jackpot is always wonderful. The average sized Jackpot would be about $53,000 dollars. Impressive, right?
