Dear
Mark,
In many of your answers you reference 9/6 video poker
machines. How do you know if a machine has a 9/6 payback?
I hoped I asked that correctly? Sandie M.
In
earlier columns, Sandie, the message was perfect but
the messenger wasn’t. Ding-dong me, I sometimes
forget my reading audience hasn’t been in the gaming
business for 18 years. Sorry.
A 9/6 payback
is your return for a full house (9) and a flush (6)
with one coin inserted. Your typical 9/6 Jacks-or-Better
paytable will look like this:
Royal Flush 250
Straight Flush 50
Four of a Kind 25
Full House 9
Flush 6
Straight 4
Three of a Kind 3
Two Pair 2 Jacks
or Better 1
And how does the casino
tighten a Jacks-or-better
video poker machine? Simply by paying out less for
a full house and flush. This is why on a Jacks-or-better
machine I ceaselessly recommend shopping for value
by finding the highest payout possible for a full
house and a flush.
