Video Poker - RTP

232 Views Asked by At

This site shows that using a 'simple' strategy or an 'optimal' strategy in Jacks Or Better 'fullpay' pay table(see below) video poker results in $99\%$ return-to-player (RTP). RTP is defined as the fraction of money won to money wagered.

What would the RTP be in each of these 2 'dumb' strategies:

  1. Player replaces all cards every time.
  2. Whenever the player has any win in the initial draw, he replaces all cards which are not part of the win. For example if the user sees AA33J he will hold AA and replace 33J.

Thanks!
