What’s your video poker play worth?

Video poker is the lowest-hold game on the floor — which is exactly why VP players get thinner mail. Estimate your theoretical and see what your play should be earning.

How casinos rate video poker

VP is tracked like slots — every hand on your card — but at a fraction of the hold, so the same coin-in rates far lower than reel slots.

Low edge, lower comps

Typical pay tables with average play hold about 2.5–3%. That's a quarter of a penny slot's hold, and your offers scale down to match.

Speed cuts both ways

An average VP pace is about 650 hands an hour, and fast players exceed 900. Speed multiplies your coin-in — and your theo — without changing your bet.

Pay tables matter

Casinos rate the machine, not your strategy. Deuces Wild rates higher than Jacks or Better because the average player gives up more to the house on it.

Example: $1.25 a hand on Jacks or Better for 4 hours is about a $81 theoretical — solid play, but it explains why VP mail is leaner than slot mail.
