The above payouts are for “full-pay” Jacks or Better Video Poker Games. With proper strategy this game returns 99.56% in the long run. If a casino has no full pay games I suggest you go elsewhere. The same goes for online casinos; some have very good video poker games while others offer poor pay out schedules. Be choosy; invest your money where the return potential is highest.
