Pro Tips

Bet Max Coins

Always bet 5 coins when possible. The Royal Flush payout jumps from 250:1 to 800:1 when betting max coins, dramatically increasing your long-term expected return.

Learn Strategy Charts

Memorize optimal hold/discard decisions for each hand type. Strategy charts are available online and can reduce the house edge to under 0.5% when followed correctly.

Bankroll Management

Set a budget and stick to it. A good rule is to have at least 50-100 bets in your bankroll to withstand variance. For 5-coin bets at 10 PHP, bring 2,500-5,000 PHP.

Check Paytables

Different Video Poker variants have different paytables. Look for "9/6" Jacks or Better machines (9 coins for Full House, 6 for Flush) for best returns.
