Poker - Video Poker Promotion Suit
Rank and Jackpots
Dear
Mark,
I would like to know a little about the four suits
and their rank from highest to lowest. Does one suit
on a video poker machine rank higher than another?
Joe C.
Generally no, but occasionally
a casino will have a promotion with designated video
poker machines paying higher jackpots if certain straights,
flushes or royals are in a particular suit. There
are also a few video poker machines that pay a mega-jackpot
if you hit a royal flush in a predetermined suit with
cards in sequential order.
(Example: 10 of Hearts,
JH, QH, KH and Ace of Hearts.) And what are the
possibilities of hitting a consecutive card royal
in a prearranged suit? Let’s just say, Joe,
it’s easier to hit your New York state lottery.
Now for some bar stool trivia. Though cards have
existed since the earliest Asian civilizations,
France had the greatest influence on the creation
of the modern deck. They eliminated the major arcana
and combined the knight and page, reduced the size
of the deck to 52 cards and simplified the suit
symbols to red diamonds and hearts, black spades
and trefoils (clover leaves). They were produced
in mass quantity after Johann Gutenberg invented
the printing press in 1455, and the four suits reflect
the structure of the medieval society. Hearts—priesthood;
spades—nobility; clubs—peasantry; diamonds—the
wealthy merchant class.
By the way, after Gutenberg printed the 1,284-page
Gutenberg Bible on the printing press, the second
impressions made were of playing cards.
