There are many different types of video poker games. Some of the most popular are Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker Wild, All American, and Double Bonus Poker. Each type of video poker game has a different payout schedule. This is something you should always take note of as your strategy will always depend on this. Also, this is the reason why you have to ensure that your winnings are more than your losses. For this to happen, you need to use the correct playing strategy for each type of video poker. However, there are just a few video poker games that allow you to win more than your losses. One of the most popular video poker games where you get nearly a 100 percent payback is Jacks or Better. In fact, Jacks or Better is also a great game to hone your poker expertise before graduating to more difficult and complicated video poker games.

Some of the different types of video poker games are explained below:

Jacks or Better: If you are a novice at video poker, you will benefit from playing this game. You should check out the full house chart and the flush payout chart before selecting the machine. This way you will be able to select a good paying machine. Remember, if you are using a 9/6 machine, it will pay you six coins for a flush and nine coins for a full house. Also, make sure that you check out the payout for royal flush. You should always select a machine that has a payout of at least 4,000 coins for a royal flush, and it should be a non-progressive machine. In other words, you will have to play a maximum of 5 coins, and if you get a royal flush, you will receive 4,000 coins at payout.

Joker Wild: In this game, there are 52 cards in the deck plus one joker, which is used as the wild card. This card can be substituted for any other card. For example, if have two aces in your hand, you can use the joker (or the wild card) to make it into three aces. As Joker Wild uses the wild card as a substitute for any card in the deck, the ante is high, and you need a minimum of two pairs to win a payout. Nonetheless, this is a very exciting game.

Deuces Wild: This video poker game also uses a deck of 52 cards, and all the four 2s or deuces are wild cards. Because the odds are high of winning, the ante in Deuces Wild is also upped and a player needs a minimum of three of a kind to win a hand. However, do not let this put you off as the possibility of winning a payout is high because of the four wild cards in the game.

Kings of the Deck: This game also uses five 52-card decks. In order to win, you need to get five kings of clubs to win a progressive jackpot. However, as the number of cards is more, the minimum to win is two pairs in the hand.

Progressive Machines: You can also play 8/5 Jacks or Better progressive where the payout for a full house and flush is lower, but you can win quite a bit if the progressive jackpot value is high. Remember, only if the progressive jackpot is $2,240 for a 25-cent machine, you should play. If the progressive jackpot is less than this amount, you will be better off playing on a 9/6 machine.

The best video poker machines that you should be playing are the 9/6 Jacks or Better, 10/7 Double Bonus and Deuces Wild that has full payout. If you have a good playing strategy and you use the maximum coins allowed, using the aforementioned machines, you can win a payout of 99.5 percent for 9/6 Jacks or Better, 100.2 percent for 10/7 Double Bonus and 100.8 percent for a full payout Deuces Wild. However, if you are new to video poker, you should first get comfortable with paying the game with something basic like Jacks or Better. It is only after that you should attempt to progress to more complicated games.

A word of advice, you should remember that the different types of video poker games are fun and you should play them for enjoyment rather than getting serious about the games. Once you learn to enjoy the game, you will find it easier to concentrate on perfecting your playing strategy.
