Video Poker Skill vs. Luck

Video poker is a fun and exciting game whether you are playing at an online casino or at your favorite Las Vegas hotspot. Honing in your skills at a casino game is always a good idea if you want to increase your odds at winning. There are tricks to be learned for every game, and video poker is no different. If you are just starting to play, or are trying to improve your skills, playing the simple Jacks or Better video poker is the best place to learn.

The first thing to know is what machine to play at, either land-based or online casinos have payout tables, and this is the first thing to look at when choosing a machine; the higher the pay outs the greater the return. For example, if you are playing video poker where a full house pays you 9:1 and a flush pays 6:1, then on average the machine will pay back 99.5% of the money that it gets in. This means that the casino is, in general, only getting .5% profits. An 8:1 full house and 5:1 flush pay out returns 97.4%, and the percentages just keep dropping from there on in. If you choose to play at a progressive video poker machine that pays 8:1 and 5:1 then be sure to pick one that has at least $250 jackpot at a 5¢, $2,500 at a 25¢ and $10,000 at a 1 dollar machine.

The most important thing to remember is to always play the maximum possible of coins; this will increase your earnings per hand and assures you of the chance at winning any bonus payouts video poker will offer. If you are just starting out, play at cheaper machines and slowly build your way up. Finally, you should always take your time; 3:4 hands are dealt as non-winners and by taking it slow, you will learn how to turn those hands into winners.
