Hello Wizard,
Thank you for making the probability tables like /games/video-poker/tables/jacks-or-better/. After going through most of the video poker variations, it seems the basic "Bonus Poker" is the best to play with a low nonpaying hand probability of 0.545037.
However I've just realized a big flaw in my analysis of the different games, just looking at the chance of not getting paid isn't enough because it doesn't take into account higher returns for various hands, etc, I can only imagine how complicated it gets when comparing these..
So overall, is there any way to compare these games in a general sense and say which is the "best" to play"?
