Both the online casinos and land based casinos make public their games' payouts. Exactly what they are talking about with payouts can be a little confusing especially if you're new to casinos. What these mean are the percentages of what the games payout in regards to what they bring in for the casino. If a casino claims it pays out 97%, this means that out of 100% of what comes in, the house actually gets 3% and the player 'wins' 97%. This is where it gets a little confusing because surely, players don't win all that money right? Right. Number one, it's rare that a player on any game, be it slots or video poker or whatever, cashes out every time he or she gets a winning combination. They wait for a big payout, or at least a bigger payout than what they've gotten so far. Say for instance, a player spins the reels on a slot machine and the winning combination says they've won $20, nine times out of ten the player is going to keep right on playing, not cashing out. Individual games have their own pay outs for each winning hand too. These can be seen in the paytable on each game. In Video Poker, the ranking hands pay differently for each coin denomination. This is why you always hear that it's best to bet the maximum on every bet. If you're betting a quarter, you wouldn't want to only bet three coins when the max bet is five coins. The pay outs are higher for betting max and it's really disheartening to be playing three coins when you finally hit that Royal Flush and lose out on the jackpot. Look for the highest paying games as well as the casinos with the highest payout percentages. These numbers can be found at the casino website and prominently displayed on the casino games themselves. In Video Poker always check the paytable to see that it is a Full Pay machine. This means that the game pays 9/6 on Jacks or Better, meaning that on a minimum coin bet the machine will pay 9 coins for a Full House and 6 coins for a Flush, for a maximum coin bet this would be 45 coins for a Full House and 30 coins for a Flush. Avoid games that pay 8/5 as you are losing money and not getting the best odds. These games are called Short Pay games and can have payouts as low as 6/5. As you become accustomed to playing at different types of casinos, you will learn to spot the best payouts by the games they offer, or even by the software used in the casino. Because the better the casino, in my opinion, the better the games are going to be. At reputable online casinos like the ones you'll find on our website, the payouts won't vary that much so you can feel confident that you're getting the best odds offered. |
