Video Poker Payouts
Casinos often place full pay machines alongside other machines with pay schedules that offer less attractive payback percentages, leaving it up to the player to identify which video poker machines offer full pay schedules. Most full pay machines are configured with a pay schedule that is only full pay when the maximum number of credits is bet.
Jacks or Better
The payoffs in Jacks or Better begin with a pair of jacks, full pay Jacks or Better is known as 9/6 Jacks or Better with 9 referring to the payoff for a full house and the 6 refers to the payoff for a flush.
