POKER PAYOUTS

Here are the typical payouts for various hands for a poker machine that accepts anywhere from one to five coins per play:

• One pair of Jacks or better (that is, one pair of Queens, Kings, or Aces) earns your money back no matter how many coins you play.
• A hand of two pairs will double your bet, no matter how many coins you play.
• Three of a kind triples your bet, and a straight quadruples it.
• A flush plays 5 to 1, and a full house 8 to 1.
• Four of a kind pays off 25 to 1, and a straight flush pays off at 50 to 1.

On multiple-coin machines remember that it’s always your best bet to risk the maximum number of coins per play, because the machine rewards the maximum play. In this case the reward comes when you’re dealt a royal flush on the machine. For a one-, two-, three-, or four-coin play, the royal flush pays off at 250 to 1. However, if you bet five coins and get a royal flush slots tournaments, the payoff is a tremendous 4,000 coins, or 800 to 1. In other words, if you play this machine and you don’t risk five coins per play, you’re passing up the chance to win the big bonus.

Some machines don’t pay for a pair of Jacks or better. On these machines you need to get at least two pairs before the machine pays anything at all. If you have a choice, for obvious reasons, play on a machine that gives you your money back for a high pair.

As a rule, the profit margin for the casinos on machines that don’t recognize a high pair as a winning hand are much higher than on those that do.

Video poker games are more interactive than straight-forward mechanical slots. Most poker games use the rules of draw poker, so after you’re dealt your initial hand you’re given a choice of which cards you want to hold on to and which you want to replace.

On a regular slot machine, when you lose you have no one to blame but the machine. If you lose at video poker, there’s a chance that things might have been different if you had played your cards differently.
