Is it possible to gain an advantage at Video Poker 8/5?
The video poker strategy for the standard “8/5” games is also known as 8/5 because of the 8-1 payoff offered for a full house and 5-1 payoff offered for a flush. Joker’s Wild and Deuces Wild video poker variations require a different strategy. If you want to have an advantage over the casino, you must look for a game with a progressive jackpot that is greater than 1750 maximum bets. This level makes the game even with the casino and the jackpot needs to be higher than this for you to gain an edge over the house. The player’s advantage increases by 1% for each additional 350 bets placed into the progressive jackpot. If you are looking to have a 2% advantage, the jackpot has to be about 2500 maximum bets.
