Jacks or Better Video Pokerby SkillOnNet Overview

Jacks or Better Video Poker from SkillOnNet has what at first glance appears to be a standard 9/6 pay table along with a 4000 coin payout for Royal Flush at max bet of five coins. But a closer look shows that they have reduced payouts from 50x and 25x bet to 40x and 20x respectively for Straight Flush and Four of a Kind. This will certainly have an effect on the long term expected return to player percentage, and even the mid term considering the frequency of 4oaK hands. In the short term, other than a stroke of luck hitting one of the top hands the pay outs should be as expected and the recreational player shouldn't notice much difference. The RTP drops from the expected 99.54% to 98.25% with these changes increasing the house edge more than three-fold from 0.46% to 1.75%

After a small or mid-sized win the game will ask if you would like to double or collect. We did a brief trial of 50 winning hands and always chose black. The results were 27 wins and 23 losses.
