Tip: Steer well clear of video poker games with less than full paytables, unless they are
offering a good bonus.
The table below shows what a full paytable will look like on three popular games.
Notice that full-pay Jacks or Better (9/6 JOB) has a theoretical return of 99.54%.
JOB games paying 8 for a Full House and 5 for a Flush (8/5 JOB) have a return of only
97.3%.
Thus the House Advantage is over 5X as great for the 8/5 game.
All Aces Video Poker returns over 99.9%.
We'll see later how to improve your own
expected return to over 100%!

Example: Add a 0.1% comp rate to the All Aces return (99.9195% with perfect strategy), and
you have a positive expectation over the long run (100.0195%). Now add in a reload bonus
and you are playing with a real edge.
Notes to Table:
1. Wagering Requirements (WR) are given for video
poker play, and may be substantially lower for some other games.
2. EZBonus means you can cash out
winnings and deposit any time (meeting WR is unnecessary).
3. Always read complete current T&Cs
before depositing or claiming a bonus.

Another way to play with an edge is through progressives. When the Royal Flush Jackpot Progressive
Meter attains a certain level (see table below for 2 popular progressive games online),
the game is returning over 100%. Don't forget to include your comps and bonuses when figuring
your theroetical return.
For example, when the Mega Jacks jackpot meter tops $1221.25, the overall return is
over 100%.

In order to achieve the theoretical return, you will need to play perfect strategy. Our
table below gives basic strategy. There are more advanced strategy tables available on the web
that include cases where there are exceptions to these basic guidelines.
To use the strategy table, you hold the highest ranking hand. For example, if you are dealt
AA337, you hold the two Aces while playing All Aces, and hold the two pairs while playing
Jacks or Better.
