There are a number of myths that have become prevalent since video poker was
first introduced about 25 years ago. Many people have come up with theories
about the game, and these have been passed off as truths to other players.
Here is a rundown of some of the most common myths, along with an
explanation of each that will help you to obtain a better understanding of
how video
poker really works.
Myth #1: Play Only 9-6 Machines
This myth is based in fact, but does not always apply. In the case of Draw
Poker machines that pay on jacks or better and 2 for 1 on 2 pairs, this
advice is accurate. However, this still only applies if the machine is a
full-pay version.
There are now many different varieties of video poker machines that have
become popular. These machines have different payouts. On the double bonus
machines with reduced payout on 2 pairs, look for the 10-7 version.
Remember that as new strategies develop, casinos often purchase newer
machines that are designed to make the casino more money if the popular
strategy is used. Keep yourself educated about the type of machines that are
being used at your casino.
Myth #2: Dollar Machines Pay More
This is usually not true for video poker. However, it often does apply to
reel-slots. In video poker, the same microprocessors are used regardless of
the amount it costs to play. Of course, if you play at a machine that costs
more to play, the payout will be higher if you do win. But you will also
lose more if you don�t win.
Myth #3: Play Where the Locals Play
It is said that when you are in Las Vegas, you should frequent the same
casinos that the locals go to, rather than the large casinos on the strip.
This is not always a good strategy.
First of all, these casinos often offer plenty of clinkers as well. They
usually push the machines that don�t pay well. And the machines that do pay
well are usually already taken by the locals, who often play two or three
machines at a time.
On the other hand, the casinos on the strip are in direct competition, so
they have reason to offer just as good an experience for players as the
smaller casinos. For this reason, you are just as likely to find good
machines at a larger casino as you are at the smaller ones.
Myth #4: Play Maximum Coins
If you are not experienced enough to know the best strategy for the machine
you are playing, the best bet is to play just one coin per machine. If you
are going to play more than one coin, then you should try to play five coins
on each machine.
Myth #5: Video Poker is Easy
Most of the people who say this are amateur players who don�t realize how
many mistakes they are making. If you are serious about winning at video
poker, you should take some time to study the game. You can purchase books,
tapes and videos to help you learn before going to the casino. You can even
get software that will allow you to play at home on your computer for
practice.
Myth #6: Video Poker Games are Regulated
This is true in most areas. However, be cautious when playing at foreign
casinos or aboard shipboard casinos. Some casinos run by Native Americans
also have unfair games. If the machines that are being used in the casino
were made in another country, they may not have been manufactured according
to the same standards that are adhered to in the United States.
Also, games that offer bonuses as gimmicks can cause confusion among players
and should be avoided.
Myth #7: It�s All Luck
This is what players like to tell themselves when they love to play but
can�t seem to get good enough to win. Yes, there is luck involved, but the
game requires skill as well. If you make the right plays, you will be able
to stay on the machine longer, which will increase your chance of hitting
the jackpot.
