Winning Strategy Tips
Master Video Poker with these expert strategies used by professional players at Jiliace PH:
Always Bet Max Coins
Maximum bets activate bonus payouts for Royal Flushes. The payout difference is substantial - typically 800 coins vs 250 coins for max bets.
Learn Optimal Strategy
Each hand has a mathematically optimal play. Study strategy charts for your preferred variant. Small improvements in decision-making significantly increase long-term returns.
Manage Your Bankroll
Set limits and stick to them. Video Poker offers some of the best odds in the casino, but consistent bankroll management is key to long-term success.
Check Paytables
Not all Video Poker games are created equal. Look for "Full Pay" machines with 9/6 Jacks or Better paytables (9 coins for full house, 6 for flush).
Play Patiently
Take your time with decisions. Unlike live poker, there's no time pressure. Analyze your hand thoroughly before choosing which cards to hold.
Popular Video Poker Variants
Jacks or Better
The most popular and beginner-friendly variant. Pairs of Jacks or higher win, making it easier to get winning hands. Look for 9/6 paytables for best returns (99.54% RTP with optimal play).
Deuces Wild
All 2s (deuces) act as wild cards, substituting for any card. This creates more winning opportunities but requires different strategy. Full-pay Deuces Wild offers over 100% RTP with perfect play.
Bonus Poker
Enhanced payouts for four-of-a-kind hands. Different combinations (Aces, 2s-4s, 5s-Kings) pay different bonuses. Offers exciting big-win potential while maintaining solid base returns.
Double Bonus Poker
Super-sized bonuses for specific four-of-a-kinds, especially Aces. Higher variance game with potential for massive wins. Requires larger bankroll to weather swings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Video Poker based on luck or skill?
Video Poker is a unique combination of both. While luck determines which cards you're dealt, your skill in choosing which cards to hold significantly impacts your long-term results. Players who learn and apply optimal strategy can achieve much better returns than those who play randomly.
What's the most important Video Poker strategy tip?
Always bet maximum coins (usually 5) to activate the bonus payout for Royal Flushes. The difference between hitting a Royal with max bet vs fewer coins is substantial - typically 800 coins vs 250 coins. This single rule dramatically impacts your expected return.
Can I play Video Poker for free?
Yes! Jiliace PH offers free play mode where you can practice Video Poker without risking real money. This is perfect for learning game rules, testing strategies, and becoming comfortable with the gameplay before betting real funds.
Which Video Poker variant has the best odds?
Full-pay Deuces Wild offers the highest theoretical RTP at over 100% with perfect play. However, Jacks or Better (9/6 paytable) is often recommended for beginners because it's simpler to learn while still offering excellent 99.54% RTP.
How do I know if a Video Poker machine has good odds?
Check the paytable! For Jacks or Better, look for "9/6" meaning 9 coins for Full House and 6 for Flush (per coin bet). For Deuces Wild, look for specific wild royal flush payouts. Always review the complete paytable before playing.
Can I use strategy cards while playing?
Absolutely! Unlike live poker, using strategy reference materials is completely allowed and encouraged in Video Poker. Many players keep strategy charts handy until they've memorized optimal plays. It's a great way to improve your game.
