Strategy reduces risk and improves your decisions. It does not guarantee a win, and every hand carries variance.
Practise in Demo Mode First
Learn hand rankings and the betting flow with virtual credits. Do this before you risk your balance.
Choose the Right Video Poker Pay Table
A 9/6 Jacks or Better table returns 99.54% with optimal strategy. Tables that pay less for a full house or flush lower the RTP.
Play Tight Starting Hands in Texas Hold’em
Fold weak offsuit hands such as 7 and 2. Raise with strong hands such as a pair of Jacks or higher and Ace King.
Follow Basic Strategy in Three Card Poker
Play with Queen, 6, 4 or better. Fold anything lower. This is the standard optimal play for the Ante/Play bet.
Limit Side Bets
Pair Plus carries a 7.28% house edge on the most common pay table. The Ante/Play bet carries 3.37%.
