Video Poker payouts are displayed at each game revealing the number of coins won for each hand. The table lists payouts for play of a single coin up to the maximum bet that awards the highest payout. It is important that as a player, you bet maximum coins for maximum profits.
When you bet 5 coins, all winning hands are paid by a multiple of 5, except for the Royal Flush. This super payday is your reward for playing max coins.
