I have been playing the aces & faces at Rincon grinding my way to 7 stars. I downloaded the wizards app from the App Store to learn and practice strategy. I recently discovered a $1 9/6 job at a different casino and have been practicing with the wizards app. I am curious as to what the main strategy differences would be between the to games. Thank you for your input and assistance.

Virtually none. And definitely no changes that will cost you a lot if you miss them.
3 to SF draws are worth slightly more in JoB because the flush pays 6 for 1. KT suited is usually played in 9/6 JoB and not usually played in 8/5 A&F. If you want to really be technical, you should just print out both of the strategies from here and note the few minor differences.

I'm still jealous that Rincon offers 8/5 Bonus w/Double Super Times Pay. Must be nice...lol

If it is 8/5 Aces & Faces (which normally returns 99.2555% with optimal play) and you use optimal 9/6 Jacks or Better strategy on it, the long-term return is 99.2471%.

It's the opposite, my play and practice has been focused on 8/5 aces and faces, but I recently found the 9/6 job at a different local casino and would like to be able to take advantage of this recent discovery. I figure using the strategy that I have learned by playing the wizards app for aces and faces on job that I will not actually be giving up that much, is this true?
