Jacks or Better (Full Pay 9/6) — Practical Advantage Play / Perfect-Play Guide
Game / Paytable to confirm (must be “full pay”)
- Only use this guide on 9/6 Jacks or Better (per coin, with 5 coins bet):
- Royal 800, Straight Flush 50, Quads 25, Full House 9, Flush 6, Straight 4, Trips 3, Two Pair 2, Jacks-or-better Pair 1
- Always bet 5 coins to get the full royal payout (that’s where most of the return comes from).
How to use on the floor
- For any hand, identify all “reasonable” holds, then choose the highest-ranked hold from the priority list below.
- If a possible hold isn’t listed, it’s never correct (either a smaller subset hold is better, or you should draw 5).
- “High cards” = J, Q, K, A.
