The strategy that we suggest for Jacks or Better Video Poker at WannaBet Casino is based on the fact that the payout for the Royal Flush is so much greater than the payouts for other hands. The strategy that is most frequently employed is to attempt to complete any potential Royal Flush. At times you might be tempted to consider breaking up hands that are very strong, (such as a Straight or a Flush) in an attempt to go for the big payout.
If you choose to go for a Royal Flush rather than being conservative and keeping a winning hand, we have suggested some common strategies. Should you want to play more aggressively, follow the table below to hit a Royal Flush.
