Comparing Video Poker Pay Tables
Hunting for the Best Payouts
Shopping for the best video poker pay tables can be a chore. There are so many games to choose from and each game comes with different pay tables. If you are wondering why, casinos alter the pay tables of some video poker games in order to loosen or tighten it up. To loosen a machine means to make it more generous for the player, and to tighten it up means to be thriftier.
It goes without saying that it is in your best interest as a player to play only those video poker variations with the most generous paybacks. For the casinos it is more complicated: they need to tighten their machines to guarantee a profit for themselves, but they also have to loosen them up to keep players happy.
