Video Poker Quiz 2

Here we go with Quiz #2 for Video Poker Players.
If you are a novice VP player, this quiz is a good start to your VP
education, while veteran players will find some challenging
questions in the mix.

(1) What is the difference between Full pay and Short pay
Video Poker?

A. Short pay VP pays higher coin for better hands. Example: 4-of-a-
kind.
B. Full Pay VP offers the best payback overall, while Short pay VP
reduces the payback for certain hands.
C. There is no difference as the overall payback will be the same if
you play optimum strategy.

(2) Which Deuces Wild version pays the most for 4 Deuces?

A. Loose Deuces.
B. Deuces Wild.
C. Bonus Deuces Wild.

(3) Pick ‘Em Poker pays 2-1 for a pair of…?
A. Pair of 8s or better.
B. Pair of 9s or better.
C. Pair of 10s or better.

(4) When playing Multi-hand VP: 3, 5, or up to 100 hands at
one time, how does optimum strategy change?

A. It doesn’t. You play each hand the same and look for full-pay
versions.
B. You focus more on the high paying quads and Royals as there
are more opportunities to connect with multi-hands in play.
C. You can play short-pay versions because there are more hands
in play.

(5) What is an Easy Royal?

B. Royal after you Hold card(s) and hit the Deal button.
C. Royal Flush dealt to you.

Answers to Video Poker Quiz 2. What is your Video Poker
Rating?


(1) B. Short pay VP reduces the payout for certain hands;
examples: straight, full house; usually by 5 coins thereby reducing
the overall payback for that version. Therefore, a 9/6 Jacks or
Better game with 99.5% overall payback is reduced to 95% for a
6/5 version.

(2) A. Loose Deuces pays 2,500 coins for 4 Deuces
while B
pays 1,000 and C pays 2,000—IF the fifth card is an Ace. While
some poker hands are reduced for Loose Deuces, the big strike
for four Deuces increases the overall payback for this game to a
delightful 100.97%.

(3) B. This popular VP version also pays well for other poker
hands and is the easiest game to learn. The pair of 9s payout
must be a consideration for optimum play when selecting one of
the two cards to complete a hand.

(4) A. Stay the course is the best advice here. Play each
version/hand with the same optimum strategy as you would with a
single full-pay version, with max coin, of course.

(5) C. Dealt to you is the easy way, but let’s not quibble for All of
the Above is also an acceptable answer.
Good luck with your Royal Quest!
