Jacks or Better Payouts
Written May 21, 2008 by Jack Jones
Jacks-or-better video poker machines have different paytables with the main difference being how much you are paid for a full house. The key to playing video poker is to make sure that you are getting the best return for your money possible.
Most of the time, the higher the payout for a full house and a flush, the greater the return.
Let’s look at the payouts:
- 9 for a full house, 6 for a flush has a 99.5 percent return
- 8 for a full house, 5 for a flush has a 97.4 percent return
- 7 for a full house, 5 for a flush has a 96.3 percent return
- 6 for a full house, 5 for a flush has a 95.2 percent return
The returns listed above are based on machines that are not connected to progressive jackpots. On an 8/5 progressive quarter machine, when the jackpot for a royal flush is more than $2,200, or $8,800 for dollar play, an 8/5 video poker machine can have a better return than a 9/6 machine.
