Video Poker - Play Maximum Coins?Written by Tom McBroom
The arguments are almost endless about whether or not to play maximum number of coins on each hand in video poker. We'll attempt to make some sense of it for you.In almost video poker machines, payout is proportionally same regardless of number of coins bet. In other words, if you have a winning hand that pays 10 for one coin bet, it will pay 20 for two coins bet, 30 for three coins bet, etc. As a result, there is no advantage to playing more than one coin - WITH ONE EXCEPTION: A ROYAL FLUSH! If you hit a royal flush, you are almost always paid five times normal odds if you bet maximum coins. For example, assume you're playing a machine that pays 200 for a royal flush with one coin bet. It will then typically pay 400 for two coins, 600 for three coins, and 800 for four coins. There is no advantage to playing, say, four coins instead of one because payout is exactly four times one coin payout.

How would you like to clean up those permanent markers instantly? And, you already have what’s needed.After years of running a training department. I know problems that trainers face every day. This really isn’t a secret because I was so amazed by it, I tell everyone I see. I’m very happy to be able to share it with you. Not long ago, company I worked for, hired a consultant to give a training class. After class consultant and I were talking about presenting training and problems that happen. Holding a black permanent marker, I explained that one thing that really bothered me was having someone use a permanent marker on my white board. With that, I showed him marker and proceeded to draw big cross marks on white board. You can imagine look I received. The consultant was sure that I had lost my mind and said, “what are you doing, you just destroyed your white board!” In past I would have thought same thing. In past to remove permanent markers I’ve used liquids and creams, and it always took a lot of effort and sometimes left a shadow.
