I just played my first hand of video poker at 5dimes. I won with a pair of Jacks, but only got back my original bet. The paytable said Jacks or better pays "1," but took it to mean my original bet + 1, not breakeven. Is this standard practice?

Yes...
"Then you can admire the real gambler, who has neither eaten, slept, thought nor lived, he has so smarted under the scourge of his martingale, so suffered on the rack of his desire for a coup at trente-et-quarante" - Honore de Balzac, 1829
