Jacks or Better

I play jacks or better at 32red.com does somebody have an idea how much i could win if i set the coin size on 25€. I ithink if i hit a royal it should be 4000×25!? and another thing i dont really understand is about the variance. The right strategy makes it possible at some vp games to play over 100% but whats the use if i dont know how much i have to play to get something back. It could be i had to play for thousands until i benefit from the strategy. Can anybody explain it please..thnx

If you are playing .25 Denomination at 5 coins for $1.25 per hand the normal royal in 400 coins IE $1000. It takes 100s of thousands of hands to get close to the 99.54 % you should be achieving. unless the bonuses they offer are real good, you should be losing over all.

I'm sure others can elaborate on this a bit better than I can. But playing the 100%+ games just means the expectation is positive over the long haul. You don't do it for one hour or a few hours, or ten hours. You do it for hundreds of hours. At that point, you'll have a good chance of being able to say, "Hey this is working" or "I'm doing something wrong because my actual results and EV are way off."


You expect to hit a royal once every 40,000 hands in Jacks or Better. I've gone close to 3 royal cycles (or 120,000 rounds) without a royal. I've also hit 2 royals within 30 minutes (about 400-500 hands = 30 minutes) of each other.

No sorry its actually 5€ per coin. So if i play max of 5 coins the paytable says 4000 for an royal. But that makes 5€×4000=20000€ is that possible?

Yes that is correct.

Just so you understand, the denomination you play does not affect the payback percentage. If you are playing 9/6 Jacks or better it doesn't matter if you are playing a 5p game or a 5€ game. The return with optimal strategy will be the same 99.54%.
