Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Deuces Wild

Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker and Deuces Wild share a familiar video-poker format, but the same-looking cards can be valued differently. Read the complete pay table and use a strategy matched to that exact game. In standard Jacks or Better, a pair of jacks, queens, kings or aces is the lowest paying hand. A pair of tens alone does not qualify. In a nine-six pay table, full house and flush return nine and six credits per credit wagered. That shorthand does not describe every other payout. Bonus Poker generally keeps the high-pair threshold while changing four-of-a-kind awards. Bonus Poker Deluxe is another game: do not assume that its two-pair or four-of-a-kind payouts match ordinary Bonus Poker. Deuces Wild makes each two a wild card. For example, three kings and a two can form four kings, with another card left over. Wild-card games have their own hand categories and usually start paying at three of a kind. Natural and wild royal flushes can have different awards. A published return percentage assumes the specified pay table and strategy over many hands. It does not promise a session result. Check denomination, credits per hand and any royal-flush bonus conditions before betting. Set a limit and avoid increasing stakes to chase losses.
