The paytable is not just eye candy to show what could be won, it is in
fact the key to determining how you would play any chosen game.
There are other Jacks or Better games offering different payouts and lower
percentages than 9/6 (NINE coins for a FULL HOUSE and SIX coins for a
FLUSH). We are looking at the 9/6 game as it is the most popular of the
Jacks or Better and offers a return of 99.5%. There are 32 ways to hold
any dealt hand and it is the probability of winning combinations that
give us the return percentage for any given game.
Full Pay Video poker

for a particular game. For example, 9/6 Jacks or Better as opposed to
8/6 Jacks or Better, and any game with a full pay schedule plus a progressive
jackpot. A video poker machine where the Maximum Average Payback is near
100%. For example, a Full Pay Jacks or Better machine has a Maximum Average
Payback of about 99.5%, and a Full Pay Deuces Wild machine has a maximum
average payback of about 100.7%

20 plus variations of the game. Basically there are Jacks or Better video

for additional hand types displayed in the payout tables.
For example:

*A Kicker in video poker is the 5th card when you have
4 of a kind, it will affect the payout. eg. In double double bonus video
poker, when you have 4 Aces, deuces, threes or fours, the fifth card must
be an Ace, deuce, three or four to receive the bonus payout. In double
double jackpot the same applies to 4 Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces, if
the kicker is a Jack, Queen, King or Ace.
The Wild Card games such as the popular Deuces Wild have the Deuces (Two's) as the Wild Card. Simply put, If I drew a pair
of Seven's and a Deuce, this would be counted as Three Of A Kind. There
are also Jokers Wild Games, Seven's Wild and other variations.
