This is a fairly volatile game but the ONLY game in MN that statistically pays back over 100% with perfect play. The Grand OEJs (named because they used to be exclusive to Grand casinos) pays back 100.28% with perfect play can be found at both Grand Casinos and Treasure Island. Although the state has a compact with the Indians that limits payback for VP to 98%, I've been told the current inventory has been "grandfathered" and will stay as long as the casinos keep them on the floor.
 
Now for that little devil of a strategy. Your best best is to do an internet search on "vipoker". Download the software and practice, practice, practice. By the way, anyone looking for a FREE software program that also has many other games should consider looking into this program as well.

I should also mention that OEJs is probably THE MOST DIFFICULT game to play perfectly. Most VP games have many symmetries. For example, keeping all low pairs in JOB (2-10) return the same and there are no differences based on which suit you have. OEJs has far fewer symmetries than other games which is why it is so difficult to learn.

 Hello,
 I am trying to find the video game for one eyed jacks so that I can practice here at home before I return to the casino.
 
Although, I hit a couple wild royals, it was not enough to keep me from getting skinned!!!!
 
Any information would be appreciated.

Getting skinned and scalped has happened to me quite often. I just got back from a trip and this time I had my way with those little devils.
 
I can't find vipoker anywhere on the internet these days, so the only software program that has OEJs is Wolf Video Poker (WVP). You can also visit vpgenius.com to find more info.

How ironic you posted this! I was going to IM you as I went looking for this program the other day and failed to find it either. It only has links to other poker sites.
