Playing Jacks or Better Video Poker
This is by far the most well known video poker game.
The game is simple and easy to play. There are no wild cards,
but all you will need is a pair of Jacks to get paid. The
better the poker hand that you make, the more you will be paid.
The top prize is generally 4000 credits for a Royal Flush.
Depending on the casino the minimum wager can be between $0.03
to $0.25 and the maximum wager is can be $25 to $500. The
pay out chart is more than fair. There is a good balance
between small frequent pay outs and a good size pay out for better
poker hands as well. You can play 1, 4, 10 or 50 Jacks or
better poker hands at once at the
Omni Casino.

Where to play Jacks or Better Online
The house edge can vary greatly depending on the pay out
table. It does not take much to turn a horrible pay
out table to a great one and a great pay out table to a bad
one. Small changes such as adding an extra five
credits for a straight or reducing the Full House by fifteen
credits can dramatically change the odds of winning at Jacks
or Better. It is important that you compare the pay
out tables before you start playing, so that you do not
needlessly add an extra 5% to the house edge.
