Royal Flush
Strategy
The Royal Flush Strategy
is for the player who is looking to hit the big
bonus or the jackpot. If you are an aggressive
player with a large bankroll and are willing to
ride out the losing streaks in order to catch up
during the winning streaks this is the strategy
for you. This strategy is based on trying to
hit the Royal Flush at the expense of hitting
the higher probability hands.
The Royal Flush Strategy
is listed in a table format below. Feel free to
print it out and follow along while playing
online.
There are six hands that
if you are dealt that you should keep. The
payouts on them are high enough to keep the
hand. Those hands are:
Royal Flush, Straight
Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush,
Straight
There are a couple of
exceptions to the six hands above. One of them
is if you have a ten of clubs, jack of clubs,
queen of clubs, king of clubs and an ace of
diamonds. You would discard the ace of diamonds
in the hope of hitting the ace of clubs. The
same rule applies to a straight versus a
straight flush. Say for example you have a
seven of spades, eight of spades, nine of
spades, ten of clubs. You would discard the ten
of clubs and look to get a ten of spades.
Where you see High
Cards listed below that means one or more of
the following cards - Ace, King, Queen or Jack.
When you see Gap that means two
non-consecutive cards for example a 7 and a 9.

Start at the top of this
list and work your way down until you find the
very first draw that fits your hand and use it.
Remember, if you are dealt a straight and four
of the cards are of the same suit, you would
discard the unsuited card in hopes of hitting
the Straight Flush or Royal Flush.
Again, this is an excellent strategy for the
aggressive online video poker player who is
looking to hit the jackpot and has a large
bankroll that will allow them to ride out the
losing streaks so that they can get on a winning
streak and hit the jackpot. |
