One of the most popular types of video poker game to
play is Jacks or Better. Here is a look at some of the
tips that will help you make more money, play longer,
and hit more jackpots.
There are many things to keep in mind when playing
Jacks or Better; but for the most part, things are pretty
simple.
1. Keep the high pair unless you are drawing for a
Royal or a straight flush.
2. Always go for the flush over the straight as it
pays more in the long run.
3. Always hold a winning hand unless you can draw for
a royal flush or a straight flush.
4. Always hold the open-ended straight draw and go
for it. An example would be 3,4,5,6 where either a 2
or a 7 would give you the straight.
5. Give up that 4-card flush or open-ended straight
draw if you have a 3-card royal draw. This is tough
but you are trying for the jackpot and not just a flush
or straight.
Remember that about a third of all hands will not have
much showing other than a high card. If you can make
proper decisions when playing video poker you can increase
your winning percentage and have a better chance to
win money in the long run.
