Tips and
Strategy for Video Poker (Jacks or Better):
- Control a predetermined bankroll and
satisfied with a 60-80 percent take over
your initial investment. For Example set aside $100 and lose it, quit; if
you can
get back $160 or more, leave a winner.
- Play only if you can make the maximum
bet. If you only have 2 coins left,
you're better off holding on to them until you can find three more for a
five-coin
play.
The best deal (pre-draw) are shown at the
top of the lists in descending order.
If none of the pre-draw are in the table,
draw a full new hand.
