The 9/6 Jacks or Better Hand Instruction

Have you ever played video poker? It becomes more and more popular last time. As to me, I’ve spent on Video Poker a lot of hours over the years. When I was a casino employee my boss allowed me to play on any machine during breaks. So, all my breaks I was sitting in front of a machine playing video poker.

But there is no sence to play video poker if you don’t have any idea what the hands are. If you a new gambler than it will be very difficult fot you to penetrate into video poker hands. Below I present all the possible paying hands suitable for a 9/6 Jacks or Better machine.

• Jacks or Better: when you have two Jacks, or two Queens, Kings or Aces you get your money back.
• Two Pair: when you have two cards of equal rank and two other cards of equal rank (for example, two 7’s and two Queens).
• Three of a Kind: when you have three cards of equal rank.
• Straight: when you have five cards in successive order (for example, 3,4,5, 6 and 7). It is possible to use an Ace not only after the King but also before the “two”.
• Flush: when you have five cards of equal suit (for example, five spades).
• Straight Flush: when you have five cards of equal suit and in successive order (for example, 4,5,6,7 and 8 of hearts).
• Royal Flush: when you have five cards of equal suit and also the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace. It is rather a rare hand.
• Full House: when you have three cards of equal suit and two other cards of equal suit (for example, three Jacks and two Kings).
• Four of a Kind: when you have four cards of equal rank (for example, four Queens).

I just want to recommend to gamble maximum coins. Only so you will have a chance to get the jackpot for a royal flush. My first royal flush was hit with only one coin in the machine, so I get just 60 dollars instead of one thousand.
