Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a strategy of the Video Poker game Jacks Or better

payoff is like this except Flush Royal is 5 times the Straight Flush ie 1250
https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/strategy/jacks-or-better/9-6/optimal/

I think its when you're playing Jacks Or better but with 1 2 3 4 coins

Perhaps someone can better understand what you mean by "payoff is like this except Flush Royal is 5 times the Straight Flush ie 1250" I'm not sure why you felt the need to involve the straight flush in your example.

Is the RF 6250 with max bet or 1250?

"I think its when you're playing Jacks Or better but with 1 2 3 4 coins" I assume you are talking about the
straight
three of a kind
two pair
pair of jack or better.

If so, there is no but..... that's what the one coin payout is on the standard JOB.

It would be helpful if you just gave us the entire paytable.

Maybe he's saying there is no bonus for a 5 credit bet royal. Meaning the royal pays 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 based on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 credits bet. If that's the case, here's optimal strategy if forced to play it:

https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/strategy/a-1-b-74-c-1-d-0-d-1-d-2-d-3-d-4-d-6-d-9-d-25-d-50-d-250/

If the royal is different, take the 5 credit bet win amount for it and divide by five to plug into the above strategy maker to get optimal strategy and the payback percentage.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

Well, I didn't make myself clear, I was following the link's payoff where it's said 800 for the flush royal but in my machine it's 5x time the straight flush so 250 for one coin

Thank you for the answer though

You're welcome.

Edit. Since there is no bonus for a 5 credit bet royal, there is no sense to do so. Just bet 1 credit.

Oh I see, I have another question since you're here : would you recommend not playing higher credits and doubling up?
Imagine I have 100.- minimum bet is 1.- should I play 1 credit and hope for straight flush, flush royal, and quads?

No. Preferably you shouldn't even play it, but if you're going to, just bet one credit per hand and no more.

Possibly. But I wouldn't put it past IGT and casinos to get real sneaky. They did with the 500/1000/1500/2000/2500 royal 9/6 JoB games.

Well I did and several times, I just went yesterday.
The machine does not accept credit balance. You can't put 100 euros and playing from this balance. You have to build your stock by putting coins one by one to make a bet. Your bet comprises from one to 100 coins (worth 1 euro or 0.50 depends the machine) so if you put 50 coins and you hit nothing you have to put again coins one by one and then if you won you can start using your balance
so there's no royal bet but you can play a 100 hundred bet and won 25000 if you hit the Royal Flush. The machine does not go above 80'000 coins in balance.

I'd also want to make sure you're not playing a Class II style machine, what country is this?

Meh.

It's still north of 98%, ultimately. I know of at least one casino in which the mail made it slightly good, and it was the best game under $5 denomination.

I believe you and I briefly mentioned this in a thread once before. I too have a casino where the mail makes it about 1/2% to the good. I have another one that pays me MUCH more than a half percent. Both are dollar machines. Easy adjustments to strategy, most importantly draw to all FL4s over any RF3s. Variance is 9. lol

Exactly, silver linings, and all of that.
