Payout: it can be
very different from one videopoker to the other. Before playing, look
around, compare the different payouts and go for the available machine
which offers you the best deal. With progressive machines, players which
bet the maximum number of coins are rewarded with higher payout in case of
victory. So, generally speaking, is better to bet 5 quarters on a quarter
machine than betting 2 dollars on a 5 dollars maximum videopoker machine.
