Am I playing the wrong VP?

Post by **Stratola** » Wed Jun 05, 2013 8:40 am

Hey all,I like to play 100 hand (when I can find it) VP Jacks or better anywhere from 1 cent to 10 cents per hand X5.My question is, should I be playing bonus poker instead of JoB? I'm fairly new to playing, but would like to make sure I'm playing the right version.

What are the pay tables?

I'm not sure, more asking overall.

Here's a list of pay tables for many games.

As shadowman linked, it is dependent on paytables. For CET in Vegas at least, I have always seen that 6/5 Bonus is the better paying game because JoB is never better than 7/5. To compare JoB and Bonus where 4 Aces pay 80 for 1, 4 2-4s pay 40 for 1, and all others pay 25 for 1: If the sum of full house and flush on 1 credit is 2 or more higher on JoB, then play JoB. Otherwise play Bonus. Example 6/5 Bonus (11) is a better game than 7/5 JoB (12) but not better than 8/5 JoB (13). Here is a post by me describing the use of this technique for other non-wild card games as well:
