The payoff for a single coin bet
varies depending on the game played. The following lists show typical payoffs
for a single coin bet for the various video poker games. The machines allow for
multiple coin playing, up to 100 coins can be gambled in some machines.
(However, the usual maximum is five coins.)
On some machines, when max coins
are played they increase the payoff (for example one machine pays on a royal
flush: 250 coins for a single coin bet, 500 for a two coin bet, 750 for a three
coin bet, 1,000 for a four coin bet and 4,000 for a five coin bet). When the
payout percentages are higher when max coins are played, it's good strategy to
gamble five coins to increase your winnings over time.
Jacks or Better Machines
These are the basic video poker
machines, one "deck" of cards is used with no wild cards. This game most

Progressive Machines
With the large payoffs that can be
obtained from these machines many players feel that this type of video poker
gambling is the only kind worth playing. These machines payoff slightly less on
some common wins but can have a huge payoff for royal flush. Progressive
machines are often linked together, and every time a royal flush is not made on
one of the linked machines the jackpot increases. Usually, in order to be
eligible for this progressive payoff you have to have bet max coins. It is
recommended that if you are playing a progressive machine you always bet five
coins.
