Jackpot Capital offers gamers a well-rounded online casino gaming experience.  We offer several exciting variations of Jackpot Capital video poker games, 14 to be exact!   We also offer variations in blackjack as well, which we will talk about in another article soon.

What is a Well-rounded Online Casino Gaming Experience?

There are parameters of casino gaming in which Jackpot Capital excels when compared to the gaming experience at many (if not most) land-based casinos.

Jackpot Capital “dwells’ in cyberspace where, to the best of our knowledge, there is unlimited space.  No land-based casino has unlimited space.  We offer about 300 games many of which land-based casinos do not offer because they don’t have the space for them.

Slots and Online Casino Gaming

There is no limit to the number of gamers who can play a slot at the same time at Jackpot Capital.  There is a decided limit of players who can paly a slot at a land-based casino.

New slots are especially popular.  So, it serves gamers well to be able to play a new slot whenever they want to without waiting, traveling, packing, or any other aspect of land-based casino gaming that is less convenient and comfortable to gamers.

Classic Slots Have How Many Fans?

Even if a classic slot has only one gamer out of the hundreds of thousands who are registered to play here at Jackpot Capital who really loves that slot and wants to play it fairly often, we can carry it for her or him!  We have no space restrictions at all!

A land-based casino needs all available floor space for games that produce revenue so they could never allow space to be taken for a slot that may be played once a year if that often!

There are many other examples of games that Jackpot Capital offers that land-based casinos do not offer.  For now, we will concentrate our attention on video poker.

Land-based Casinos Offer Fewer Variations of Video Poker Than We Do

Of course, a land-based casino will offer standard Jacks or Better video poker.  This is the classic form of video poker.  If the gamer uses the best strategy on every hand and the casino pays 9-6 for a full house or a flush, the return to player rate is about 99.5%.

It is possible to use the best strategy on every hand in video poker since the game has been analyzed by computer and the statistical results of millions of hands are available.

Land-based casinos have a trick they use to reduce the return to player rate in video poker.  This trick is simply to calibrate the terminal to pay out either 8-5 or 7-5 for a full house and a flush!

Land-based casinos also want there to be fewer video poker terminals and more slots terminals where they can calibrate the random number generator to return about 90% of all money bet.

We pay 9-6 for a full house and a flush in most video poker games.  Where we pay 8-5, there are extra chances for gamers to win so we pay less for the full house and flush to compensate.  In general, you can count on getting 9-6 in video poker at Jackpot Capital!

And, we ask SpinLogic, our exclusive game provider, to calibrate slots to pay out about 97%!

Can a Gamer Win at Jacks or Better?

Of course, they can!  Gamers need to trust the statistical analyses that have been done on video poker and follow those results on every hand.  Gamers also have to bet the maximum on every hand to qualify for the big extra payout for a Royal Flush.

With a return-to-player rate of about 99.5%, a gamer can bet, a gamer can bet $1000 in a session and expect to win back $995!  That amounts to a very inexpensive hour or two of fun!  And, with just a little luck, a gamer will end a session with a small profit.

In any session, if you don’t hit a Royal Flush, you will either win a little or lose a little.

Can You Give Me a Few Tips on How to Play Video Poker?

Yes, of course!

We have already given you a few tips so we will repeat them and add a few others:

  1. Make sure the game pays 9-6 for a full house and a flush.
  2. Bet the maximum in order to qualify for the Royal Flush bonus payout.
  3. Play in free play mode when you are trying out a variation of video poker that you are not familiar with.
  4. Set sound time and money budgets.  remember, Jackpot Capital and all online casinos are always “open”.
  5. Become familiar with the strategy chart for the variation you want to play.
  6. Wait until after the gaming session is over to have any alcoholic beverage.
  7. Make sure you know the rules very well before starting to play a new video poker variation.

Are the Rules Very Different in Some Variations?

The biggest difference will be in games with a wild card.  When you play Deuces Wild, you may be able to get five of a kind!  It is a lot easier to get high hands and it is so easy to get a pair that a single pair doesn’t win!  This changes the strategy dramatically!

Another difference is in variations with a side bet.  Side bets are fun to play but the return to player rate in most side bets is not very good so players need to be careful when they play a game that offers a side bet.

Learn When to Break a Winning Pair

One of the main strategy tips in video poker is that there are times when a gamer should break a winning pair!  Here is one example:  You have four cards to a straight flush with at least one high card and the high card is paired.

You can hold the pair and win or you can break the winning pair to go for the straight flush.  The odds of hitting the straight flush are 47-2.  This means that in one out of every 23.5 hands with this holding before the draw, you will hit the straight flush.

Those are long odds but there are many other cards that can give you a winning hand.  You can get a straight without it being a straight flush.  There are 6 cards that can achieve that hand.  You can get a flush with getting a straight flush.  There are 8 cards that can achieve that hand.  Finally, you can pair up a winning high card.  There are from 2 to 5 or more cards that can achieve that hand.

So, there are from 16 to as many as 22 cards that get you a winning hand!  This is one of the ways that gamers who play video poker get to that 99.5% return-to-player rate.
