There are three simple types of electronic poker machines:
* Jacks or Better
* Deuces Wild
* Jokers Wild
To keep things simple, we advise you bet on only the Jacks or Better machines. The pay outs are usually greater and the draw strategy is much more straightforward.
What you’re actually looking for is usually a Jacks or Better machine with a excellent payout schedule. The finest pay-out schedule pays Nine to One for full house and 6 to 1 for a flush. In gambler’s terms, this can be called a "9-6" device, for obvious reasons. Various years ago, you could find numerous of these in most casinos, but they are now very hard to uncover simply because of the favorable (to you, not the casino!) pay-out schedule.
Usually, the best payout you will be able to locate is the next best just one, which pays Eight to 1 for a complete house and 5 to 1 for any flush. On the other hand, that is a very good payout table if it’s also a "four-of-a-kind" bonus machine. A bonus device pays extra odds for hitting four-of-a- type for certain cards, like 2s, 3s, or Fours, or three other cards. The pay-out schedule has this details, so be certain to examine the pay-out schedule meticulously before you play any machine.
Be certain to avoid machines that just pay One to One for two pairs. This should be the pay-out for any single pair of jacks or better. Two pair need to pay Two to 1. You cash will go much faster if 2 pairs pays only One to 1.
Look for these payout schedules and you will be competing with house advantage against you of One or Twopercent – some from the finest odds within the casino.
