Play Mega Jacks Video Poker

Mega Jacks Poker is very similar to the Jacks or Better video poker game.  The only big difference is when you get a royal flush you will win a progressive jackpot.  To win the jackpot, you must wager the full $1.25 (might be a bit more depending on the currency you are playing in).  The rest of the game play and the pay out table is almost exactly the same as the Jacks or Better poker game.

Jacks or Better vs Mega Jacks

At the Omni Casino you would only be better off playing Mega Jacks if the progressive jackpot is $1564.15 or higher.  Any less than this and you would have a smaller house edge in the game of Jacks or Better at the Omni Casino.  The only difference between the two pay tables is that you get five less credits for a straight in Mega Jacks.  So to make up for that, the Royal Flush jackpot will need to be 56.4% bigger or $1564.15.
    The 100.3% pay out percentage can be a bit deceiving at times.  This is a theoretical pay out percentage that utilises proper game play on every hand.  There are so many variables in a video poker hand, that it would almost impossible to play every hand correctly, without doing long handed calculations on every hand.  For the most part the average player can expect to face a 2% house edge while playing Mega Jacks.
