How to Identify the Right Paytable in the Casino

The full house and flush payouts determine almost the entire return difference. For Jacks or Better: look for 9 (full house) and 6 (flush) on the paytable screen. An 8/5 machine pays 97.29% — the 1.25% difference over thousands of hands is significant. Always verify before inserting money.

Paytable Variations Are How Casinos Make Money

The same game title can pay anywhere from 94% to 101%+ depending on the paytable configuration. Casinos place inferior-pay machines alongside full-pay machines. Knowing your paytables is the single most important skill for any video poker player.
