How do you think you fared with this Video Poker Quiz? Let's see with Answers to Video Poker Quiz 2 below.

1) B. Short pay VP reduces the payout for certain hands. For example, straights and full houses usually by 5 coins thereby reducing the overall payback for that version.
Therefore, a 9/6 Jacks or Better game with 99.5% overall payback is reduced to 95% for a 6/5 version.

2) A. Loose Deuces pays 2500 coins for 4 Deuces while B pays 1000 and C pays 2000 IF the fifth card is an Ace. While some poker hands are reduced for Loose Deuces, the big strike for four Deuces increases the overall payback for this game to a delightful 100.97%.

3) C. Bring on the Royalty be it King, Queen or Jack for extra coin with 4 Aces.

4) B. This popular VP version also pays well for other poker hands and is the easiest game to learn. The pair of 9’s payout must be a consideration for optimum play when selecting one of the two cards to complete a hand.

5) A. Stay the course is the best advice here. Play each version/hand with the same optimum strategy as you would with a single full-pay version with max coin, of course.

6) B. With the big payday offered for a Royal, this is an opportunity you don’t pass up. If you are not playing max. coin for all VP versions, all I can say is ‘Yikes’.

7) A. Sit down and play for this game is about to ‘pop wide open’. Answer C is correct IF you were playing a 9/6 version--not likely, in the world of progressive VP.

8) B. Unless you have sat through more than 50 hours of playing the same machine, you don’t know how many hands have been played before you. But, let’s be optimistic and expect that it’s 39,999—yes?

9) C. Smart VP players learn optimum strategy for all versions. There are different strategies for Wild Card games vs. Jacks or Better. The same is true for Bonus vs. Double Bonus games

10) C. Dealt to you is the ‘easy’ way, but let’s not be fussy for ‘All of the Above’ is also an acceptable answer. Good luck with your Royal Quest.
