If you walk through any [casino](http://liveinsofia.com/author/alexander48001/), past the flashing modern video slots, you will inevitably find rows of old, blocky Video Poker machines.
+
Unlike regular slots, where the outcome is purely dictated by blind luck, Video Poker is a game of profound, complex skill.
+Understanding the Paytable: Jacks or Better +
Before you ever insert a single dollar, you must intensely study the brightly lit paytable printed directly on the glass of the machine.
+
Smart players exclusively hunt for a specific paytable known in the industry as "9/6 Jacks or Better."
+Casinos often hide 8/5 machines right next to the generous 9/6 machinesThe paytable is the only information you need to calculate the exact RTP of the gameJacks or Better provides the foundational strategy for almost all other game variations +The Importance of the "Max Bet" Rule +
However, the payout for the absolute rarest hand, the Royal Flush, is heavily, disproportionately weighted toward the massive 5-coin maximum bet.
+
But if you bet the maximum 5 coins, the Royal Flush payout jumps exponentially to an incredible 4,000 coins (800 to 1).
+Memorizing the Basic Strategy Chart +
Once you find a 9/6 machine and bet max coins, the final step is flawlessly executing the mathematical basic strategy for every single hand.
+
For example, if you are dealt a Low Pair and a Four-Card Flush, the math dictates you must always hold the Pair.

By finding the correct paytable, betting the absolute maximum, and playing flawlessly like a robot, you can nearly eliminate the house edge.
