For a beginner, I would recommend single line Bonus Poker. This game has better payouts than Jacks or Better for premium quads. You won't be grumbling if you hit 4 aces.

Good luck to you.

Agree with single line. Non-gimmick game you can practice on and learn basic strategy. Good luck.

Ditto. They pulled the 99.1 version from Mohegan Sun many years ago. They still have 7/5, I won’t play it.

The best simple game at Yaamava will be the 7/5 bonus 25 cent three line video poker, Bonus Streak Ultimate X - don't play the Ultimate X multiplier if you don't understand it, just bet $1.25 per line ($3.75, 15 credits). The pay tables at single line are otherwise bad - 8/5 jacks or better, 6/5 bonus, 9/6/4 double bonus, 8/5 double double bonus. The good games are in VPFree2 but are probably too high denomination for a beginner. Good luck.
