Tens or Better Video Poker
Tens or Better is played with a 52-card deck that is shuffled after each hand. Video Poker machines use a Random Number Generator (RNG) which is a device that generates unpredictable numbers for every hand, so neither the machine nor the player can cheat at the game. There are no wild cards for this game, thus every card has its own value except the Ace which can serve both as the lowest card below the two or the highest card above the King. To play the game you must insert coins into the machine and press the deal button. The machine will deal 5 cards face up to you. You must choose which cards (if any) you want to hold and the rest are discarded. Then press the Deal button again and a new set of cards will be dealt for the discarded cards. You will have your final poker hand by now and if you have at least a pair of Tens or better, you will receive a payout. This is a standard Tens or Better video poker machine paytable:
If you are new to poker you must learn what each hand combination is. Here's a basic guide for each poker hand:
It is important to notice what the lowest paying poker hand is for each VP machine. Normally, all video poker machines start paying after a Jacks/Kings or better pair, some even after two pairs. That means that if you have two 9's and nothing else, you won't get any win. Tens or Better video poker machines starts paying for pairs of Ten's or higher, making it one of the most generous online video poker machines. However, there is a big catch. Most Ten's or Better machines have a short-pay paytable. This means they have decreased the standard payout for lower-ranking poker hands. A Full-Pay video poker machine will give out 9 coins on a Full-House and 6 coins on a Flush for one-coin bets. As you can see on the paytable above the Ten's or Better game has only 6 coins for a Full-House and 4 for a Straight. After winning a hand most Ten's or Better machines will give you an option to double-up. This is a risky gamble and it is recommended to do it only for low-paying poker hands. The double or nothing game is played with 5 cards, one for the machine and four face-down cards for the player. The player must pick one card that is higher than the machine's card. If it is, the amount won will be doubled or lost if the player gets a lower card. Basic Tips and Strategy for Ten's or Better Video Poker
