Video Poker Pay Tables, RTP and Strategy Tools
Verified pay tables, optimal-strategy returns, and side-by-side RTP comparisons for video poker variants. Built for players who read the math before they bet.
Explore by variant
VideoPokerEdge organises content by variant. Each cluster covers the paytable, optimal strategy, and the specific scenarios that affect play.
Jacks or Better
The foundational variant. 9/6 paytable returns 99.54% with optimal play and 5-credit play.
Deuces Wild
Wild-card draw poker. Full-pay variant reaches 100.76% theoretical RTP under optimal play and 5-credit play.
Guides
Cross-variant references — RTP comparison, strategy methodology, and the underlying math.
What this site is
VideoPokerEdge documents what is mathematically true about each covered variant — pay tables with per-credit payouts, optimal strategy charts derived from primary sources, and practical guidance for identifying favourable paytables in game interfaces and paytable displays. Every quantitative claim cites a paytable specification, a strategy assumption, a credit-count assumption, and a primary source. See the Editorial Standards page for methodology.
The site is organised in two content silos and a reference cluster. The Jacks or Better silo covers 9/6 paytable identification, optimal strategy, and specific hand scenarios. The Deuces Wild silo covers the full-pay variant (100.76% theoretical RTP under optimal play and 5-credit play), short-pay decoys, and variant-specific strategy. The Guides cluster collects cross-variant references that apply across multiple paytables and games. Operator and game audits live under the Reviews section.
What this site is not
This is not a betting tip site. We do not predict outcomes, recommend bet sizes, or promise winnings of any kind. Theoretical RTP figures describe long-run statistical averages under specific play conditions — not session results, not guarantees. We do not run sponsored content posing as editorial, fabricate user counts, or use urgency tactics. Where commercial relationships exist, they are disclosed in the Affiliate Disclosure and on the relevant page.
We also do not publish prediction systems, hand-tracking tools that claim to influence outcomes, or “insider” advice with no mathematical basis. The math is publicly documented; the value here is presenting it cleanly, with assumptions stated and sources cited.
