It\u2019s easy to play, and it has a very high expected return if you, well, play your cards right. Video poker players are surely always on the lookout for simple strategies to help them get head.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to get into the nitty gritty of the Jacks or Better game in the following passages, so you can get your head around it. We\u2019re also going to explain the payouts, odds, and give you a simple strategy. Even if you\u2019re a complete newbie, we bet you\u2019ll feel far more confident after reading out ultimate Jacks or Better strategy guide.<\/p>\n<p>On a quick note, we\u2019re discussing the full pay version of the game, which is also referred to as 9\/6 Jacks or Better. And no, it wasn\u2019t inspired by the 10\/6 note that the Mad Hatter wore in the movie Alice in Wonderland. Actually, if you get a full house in Jacks or Better, you are paid nine times your original bet, and if you get a flush, you get six times your bet. You\u2019re beginning to see why it\u2019s so popular, aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Well then, follow us down the rabbit hole.<\/p>\n<h2>Let\u2019s Ease You Into It \u2014 Poker Speaks<\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into this video poker strategy, we\u2019re going to assume you\u2019re an absolute beginner and give you a rundown of the common terms. If you\u2019re an expert, feel free to skip this altogether or just skim it as a quick reminder!<\/p>\n<h3>General Poker Lingo<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>A high card refers to the Ace and the cards with a face on them, so the Jacks, the lovely Queens, and the distinguished Kings.<\/li>\n<li>An inside straight means that just one specific card is required to finish off the straight. For example, if you have 4,6,7,8 then you absolutely need a 5, right?<\/li>\n<li>An outside straight, on the other hand, is also called open-ended because it means you have the middle bits of the hand in place, and you just need a card at either end to finish it off. So if you have 4,5,6,7 then a 3 will do just as well as an 8 to make it a straight.<\/li>\n<li>A gap refers to those gaps in the cards that you need to complete a hand like the inside straight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Understanding the Jacks or Better Winning Hands<\/h2>\n<p>First off, what are the winning hands in Jacks or Better video poker game? Well, we have the highly coveted royal flush, and right after, the still excellent straight flush. After that, there are seven more combinations that pay out, and two Jacks are the lowest combo needed to award a win.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a table, so you can have an easier overview. Do note that in the Rival game, the paytable is displayed on the screen at all times, for your convenience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"supsystic-table-loader spinner\" style=\"background-color: #000000\"><\/div><div id=\"supsystic-table-10_97595\" class=\"supsystic-tables-wrap \" style=\" width: 100%;

An example would be 10 of Hearts, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, King of Hearts, and Ace of Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>A straight flush is just like the royal flush except the highest card won\u2019t be an Ace (hence, the hand loses its \u201croyal status\u201d).\u00a0 An example would be a 9 of Hearts, 10 of Hearts, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, and King of Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Next, four of a kind is exactly what it sounds like \u2014 four Aces are the dream of course, but any of the same four cards will do.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a full house means you\u2019re holding three cards of the same value plus a matching pair. So this can be the 7 of Hearts, the 7 of Clubs, and the 7 of Diamonds, coupled with the Jack of Hearts and Jack of Spades.<\/p>\n<p>When you have a flush, it means you\u2019re holding five suited cards. So they can be any cards, for example a 5,7,9,10 and a Jack of Hearts.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a straight on your hands, then your five cards will be in a value sequence, but they\u2019ll be unsuited. An example would be 5 of Hearts, 6 of Hearts, 7 of Spades, 8 of Hearts, 9 of Clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Three of a kind just means having three cards, for example, three Jacks, in different suits and nothing else but that (if you had a pair to boot, that would be a full house, remember?).<\/p>\n<p>Two pair just means having two sets of cards of the same value but different suit, like when you have two Aces and two 4s.<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least (ok, kind of least), Jacks or Better is the lowest-paying hand, and yes, its when you have a pair of Jacks!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1203\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-3.jpg\" alt=\"Jacks or Better Best Cards Gameplay\" width=\"800\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-3-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-3-768x411.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to Play<\/h2>\n<p>Before we get into our Jacks or Better strategy, let\u2019s just explain the basic gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>First, select how much you want to stake. Now, in the Rival version, you can start your betting with 0.05 all the way up to 25 of your chosen currency. It\u2019s a five-coin program, so you can play any five-coin combo, going up to 5 per coin.<\/p>\n<p>You get dealt five cards, and these are your original cards. It\u2019s up to you to choose which you want to keep and which to discard. Click on the ones you wish to keep with the cursor, and if you change your mind, click again on the card you wish to deselect.<\/p>\n<p>If you get the highest winning hand, the royal flush, you\u2019ll automatically win. But if it\u2019s any other combination, you get new cards, and you can see if you hit a winning hand.<\/p>\n<p>The lowest winning hand is a pair of Jacks, obviously, and it pays even money. The royal flush can award you up to 4,000 coins if you play the maximum amount because it\u2019s a 250:1 payout.<\/p>\n<p>Note that there is also a \u201cDouble\u201d button, meaning you can double your bet if you\u2019re feeling extra lucky. Next to it is the \u201cCollect\u201d button when you\u2019re satisfied with all you\u2019ve won.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Win \u2014 The Best Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Every poker strategy is molded to fit the best payouts, and so ours is in alignment with the Jacks or Better variation. Playing the 9\/6 version statistically allows a whopping 99.54% payout. This means the house edge is a mere 0.46%, making Jacks or Better one of the best casino games for the player.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a chart we\u2019ve created for you that depicts the best strategy, statistically speaking. Very logically, you can hold all your cards if you get a royal or straight flush, but the software will do this for you automatically, and your winnings will be added to your balance automatically.<\/p>\n<div class=\"supsystic-table-loader spinner\" style=\"background-color: #000000\"><\/div><div id=\"supsystic-table-9_94517\" class=\"supsystic-tables-wrap \" style=\" width: 100%;

It\u2019s all common sense \u2014 you look at the winning hands displayed in the game, and then the cards you have. Keep the cards that will most likely create a winning hand by the next draw. Don\u2019t get greedy and try to go for a royal flush if you have the kind of hand that would more easily \u201cturn into\u201d a full house for example.<\/p>\n<p>Another example of precisely this would be debating whether to hold a high pair while also having four cards to a straight. Hold that high pair for dear life because there\u2019s less chance of getting a straight, and you could end up losing a winning hand!<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of common sense&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Strategies and No Common Sense Makes Jack a Dull Boy<\/h2>\n<p>Well, the saying technically goes \u201call work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\u201d But the point is, all the best strategies in the world can fall short if you aren\u2019t combining them with common sense.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of gamblers tend to have superstitions that really become a fly in the ointment, and no strategy can help in those cases. So here are our warm suggestions on how to comport yourself while playing Jacks or Better.<\/p>\n<h3>Do This:<\/h3>\n<p>Re-read our guide if you\u2019re a newbie until you memorize all the things you need to know, so there are no surprises. Maybe practice with free games before committing to real-money play.<\/p>\n<p>Practice, practice, practice! This is because poker is a game of skill, at least a little bit. This makes it stand out from other games of chance. Therefore, the more you play, the more you\u2019ll feel out what you\u2019re supposed to do during each hand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1202\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-2.jpg\" alt=\"Jacks or Better Gameplay\" width=\"800\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-2-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eclipsecasino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Untitled-2-768x411.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Have a lot of patience. This is definitely crucial because that\u2019s the common sense that every Jack and Jill need to have.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re playing online, make use of casinos bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>Only play games from the most trusted providers like Rival software.<\/p>\n<h3>Not That:<\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t succumb to gambler\u2019s fallacy. Because superstition and gambling go together like peas and carrots, you might be experiencing this without ever realizing it! Basically, it means that you\u2019re worried that a winning streak won\u2019t last and that if you\u2019re winning now, you\u2019re sure to lose later. Whatever your false belief might be, try to question it and remember that gambling is a play of chance; it\u2019s meant to be fun precisely because you can\u2019t predict it!<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the cashout curse is a myth! If you win a lot of money on Jacks or Better, online casinos will not rig their games, so you can\u2019t win again with the same account. If you have a gut feeling that you\u2019re playing at a reputable casino, then really rethink where you\u2019re playing. Casinos that cooperate with Rival software developers are trusted institutions, so we recommend you play at those.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t card count, especially when playing online. A random number generator is used in that virtual shoe, making it literally impossible to card count.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to rest! Playing for way too long won\u2019t do what you want it to; it will just tire out your eyes and spirit. Walk around, get some air, recharge, maybe even take a nap.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol is not a gambler\u2019s best friend. Drinking responsibly is the optimal strategy when you play \u2014 or don\u2019t drink at all.<\/p>\n<h2>To Sum It Up<\/h2>\n<p>The simple Jacks or Better game has many incarnations, but we strongly recommend the Rival version of it. So pick a comfortable chair, lay back, and play away with our article as your ultimate guide. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ll do great if you stick to our strategy and only play while it\u2019s still fun!<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacks or Better is a staple poker game at every online casino and for good reason!
