Online Video Poker Nevada Gold Casino |
Almost all Online Video Poker machines use a Random Number Generator
(RNG). The Players goal is to build the best hand possible starting
with the first cards that are dealt. The opening hand dealt to
the player is five cards. Then the player decides which ones to
hold and which ones to discard. When the cards are discarded new
cards are dealt to replace them bringing the hand total to five
cards again.
The best way to decide which cards to hold and which to discard
to build the best hand possible is to know the percentages, or
odds of what the possible hands are that can be built from your
starting cards. For instance, if you hold a pair of jacks, you
automatically know it will be impossible to build a flush, straight,
or royal flush. However, you have a chance to build three of a
kind, two pair, four of a kind or a full house. What makes Video
Poker such a good game to play is that many video poker machines
pay out close to 100 per cent or more if you know how to play
them. But casinos know most people won't bother to learn how to
play the machines properly and that is how casinos make their
money.
There are 2,598,960 possible hands that can be made with the 52
card deck that is used to play Video Poker. The RNG in machines
is set to achieve that number of hands with the possible odds
that number represents. Don't get nervous about big numbers. You
really do have a very good chance to win because many of those
hands pay off. And the payoff is where a little research before
you play can really help to make you a winner. The odds of each
hand occuring have already been set by the RNG so, the casino
gets an advantage by setting the odds or payouts for each winning
hand. That is where smart shopping will really pay off. Because
if you can read the pay tables and understand them, you will know
what your chances of winning are. This doesn't require any difficult
math, it is really quite simple and that's why you should read
the pay table before playing any video poker machine.
The table below shows how the pay tables are related to the overall
return of the machine.
Full House / Flush Return = Approximate Machine/Game Return.
9-1 for a full house and 6-1 for a flush = approximate machine
payout of 99.5%
8-1 for a full house and 5-1 for a flush = approximate machine
payout of 97.4%
7-1 for a full house and 5-1 for a flush = approximate machine
payout of 96.3%
6-1 for a full house and 5-1 for a flush = approximate machine
payout of 95.2%
It is almost always advisable to play the maximum number of coins
on a good machine. This allows you to take advantage of bonus
payouts for a royal flush etc. Playing progressive machines is
also a good idea, simply because the payouts can be much bigger
if you hit a royal flush. Try to find progressive machines that
are showing approximately 80 per cent of the full payout amount.
