All About Full Pay Better Video Poker Online at Red Casino

Besides having haystacks of fun, the other main reason for playing real money video poker at our fav Red Casino is to bag the best payouts possible, right?  Well, if you are fixin’ to do precisely that, here are few pointers regarding the straight-up variations of online video poker.

Why Play ‘Better’ Video Poker at Red Casino

When y’all browse through the games menu at Red Stag Casino, what do you see?  Reams and reams of big paying online casino games, of course.  If y’all are sharp, you will notice there is a standalone category for video poker.  The reason being is because of the sheer number of the variations!

If that is not enough to get y’all salivating, here’s an additional spur.  There are single and multiplay versions of the whole darn shebang… with one or two exceptions.  What that essentially means is y’all can bet and play one hand at a time… or you can splash out and gamble on up to four hands simultaneously!

Now what y’all need to know is this.  Playing a whole heap of hands makes not a stitch of difference to the odds, the house edge of the payback percentage.  All that does is speed up the proceedings… and it also means taking on more risk.  Remember fellas, the wagers increase two-, three- or four-fold, depending on the number of hands in-play!

With so many video pokers available at Red Casino, why in heaven’s name are we focusing on the ‘Better Brothers’?  Truth be told, they are the pure forms of video poker.  They are the closest anyone will ever get to traditional draw poker at the likes of Red Stag Casino.

How come?  Well, unlike cash games like Deuces Wild and Quad Poker, there are no wild cards or bonus pays in play to up the proverbial ante.  What we are offering at Red Casino is straight-up draw poker for cowboys and cowgals – like y’all and we’uns!

What Differentiates Tens or Better from Jacks or Better?

Both these games really are as close as blood bothers.  They share exactly the same rules.  Hang, they even look the same on a swanky online gaming interface, such as ours.  The key difference between the two is where the video poker games start paying.

When it is Tens or Better y’all are juicing up with dollar bills, you get even money when you hit a pair of tens or better.  It is the same story for Jacks or Better, only y’all have to land a pair or jacks or higher to be in the money.

To those of you uninitiated to gaming at Red Casino, that may seem like a nominal distinction.  To the rest of us, it is obvious it is easier – a whole 4% easier – to get a high pair starting at ten.  As you are no doubt aware, there are 20 possible cards, rather than 16, that can form a paying pair in Tens or Better video poker.

If y’all can hit a paying pair 25% of the time playing Tens or Better video poker, something has gotta give.  At Red Casino – as at all gaming establishments – it is the pay table that compensates.  What do we mean by that?  When y’all play Jacks or Better at Red Stag Casino, you win more money for a flush and full house.  The rest of the payouts in both the ‘Better’ video pokers are evenly matched!

The Differences in Terms of “Stats”

Statistically, jest this one small modification to the pay table is key.  It means the average long-term payback percentage for Jacks or Better video poker is 99.54%.  Fire up the game engines of Tens or Better and the long-term return is fractionally lower at 99.14%.

What that of course tells y’all is the house edge is 0.46% and 0.86% for Jacks and Tens or Better, respectively.  In cash terms that means you can get around $9.95 and $9.91 back on every $10 wagered at Red Stag Casino.  One could say that that is splitting hairs as the edge differs by a smidgin – 0.4% to be exact.

We’ve said this many a time, but for those who don’t know, the payback percentage is the average the game pays to all players over the long-run.  It is by no means a reflection of what y’all can expect to win.  Every time you play our ‘Better Brothers’ video poker at Red Casino, the rewards are likely to fluctuate wildly.

What is especially gratifying about playing the ‘Better’ video pokers at Red Casino is this.  Both variations feature what is known as ‘full pay’ pay tables.  These are the best kinds of video poker games.  So much so, seasoned gamblers intentionally seek ‘em out.

Why are they so popular amongst experienced video poker players?  Well, they pay out at the best odds.  It is the winnings associated with the flush and full house that give the game away, on both counts.

Tens or Better pays 6 to 1 and 5 to 1 for a full house and flush, respectively.  Switch across to Jacks or Better and the odds for the same rankings climb to 9 to 1 and 6 to 1.  Hence, the so-called 6/5 and 9/6 full pay games frequently mentioned by commentators who know their beat!

What is interesting to note, is full pay online video poker games are rare.  They are getting harder to find at both online casinos and brick and mortar gaming halls.  Hang, full pay video pokers are the equivalent of Mo Williams and Al Jefferson – the best darn basketball players in the whole of Mississippi!  Aint that another great reason to sign up at Red Stag Casino?
