Understanding Paytables
Knowing the paytables
has nothing to do with becoming an expert but everything to
do with making sure your money goes as far as possible.
Here are a few ways to make paytables work for
you.
Video
Poker
1) When choosing a video
poker game, remember that different types of video poker
have different types of paytables. This can have a big
effect on the rules of the game and the best strategy to use
when playing it. For example, some games pay out a bonus for
particular types of four of a kind.
2) Before you begin
playing, take some time to familiarise yourself with the
paytable. This will tell you what payout you can expect for
what hands. The paytable also gives you a good indication of
what the return on a specific game is. The general rule is
that the higher the payout, the better the return. For
example Jacks or Better gives 9 for a Full House and 6 for a
Flush so this game has a return of 99.5%.
3) Always play the maximum
number of coins allowed. Many games offer bonuses on the
highest hand for five coin played.
Slots
1) Bet the maximum number
of coins. Imagine playing a single line progressive, hitting
the jackpot, and only getting paid a fraction of the
possible jackpot amount just because you played two coins
instead of three.
2) Betting more coins on a
single payline slot activates more paytables, whereas on a
multipayline it activates more paylines. This is an
important concept to grasp as you might bet too few coins by
mistake and then hit a big win on a payline you hadn't
activated.
3) The paytable is also a
handy reference to how many coins it takes to activate side
benefits like bonus rounds or gamble features.
4) Not all paytables are
calculated alike. On regular slots, paytables are quoted in
coins, not credits or currency. The only slots that quote
payouts as credits or currency are progressives.
