Video Poker Facts and Myths

Many people around the world have some misconceptions about video poker. Let’s take a look at some of the facts and myths surrounding this popular online casino game.

Facts and Myths

1- Unless it is a progressive machine, video poker machines are never due to hit. Each machine has a random number generator and the odds are the same every single time.

2- The payback table is what determines the odds on hitting a jackpot, not the denomination. If you find a 9/6 machine it doesn’t matter what the denomination, quarter, dollar, hundred dollar, the payout rate is the same.

3- It is a myth that strategy doesn’t matter in video poker. If you want to hit the jackpot then there is definitely some strategy that will help. For example, if you get dealt Ace clubs, King clubs, King hearts, two of diamonds and four of clubs you should hold the Ace and King of clubs, not the two Kings if you are playing premium jackpot strategy. If you just want to guarantee a return then hold the two Kings but if you want a better chance at hitting the Royal then you hold the Ace and King of clubs.

4- The house edge is too difficult to overcome in the long run unless you get lucky. It is really that simple. If you want to beat video poker in the long run it can’t be done unless you hit a jackpot.

5- All video poker machines are not the same. This is critical to you as a player because you only want to be playing on machines that give you the best value for your money.
