Ready to play smarter? If Jacks or Better is your thing, jump in, set a budget in Kč, and try a few hands today at 22Bet. The casino’s lobby doesn’t skimp on variety: classics like Book of Dead, Starburst, plus live tables from Evolution (think Lightning Roulette and a few game-show titles) sit a tap away—handy when you want a breather from video poker, but still want action.
Paytables Decide Your Edge
Here’s the no-nonsense CZ take: pick the right paytable first, argue about fancy “reads” later. On Jacks or Better, the full-pay 9/6 table (full house pays 9 per coin, flush pays 6) returns 99.54% with perfect play. Shorter tables cut that return—sometimes more than you think.
Below is a quick reference. Keep it near your keyboard; it saves Kč in the long run.
| Paytable (FH/Flush) | Nickname | RTP with optimal play |
| 9 / 6 | Full-pay | 99.54% |
| 9 / 5 | Short flush | 98.45% |
| 8 / 6 | Short house | 98.39% |
If a game in CZ shows 9/6, that’s your first pick. If not, 9/5 or 8/6 can be serviceable for casual sessions—just know the give-up in return.
Five Rules You Can Remember Between Tram Stops
Perfect charts are great, but you don’t need a PhD to play near-optimal. These five rules get you very close to the full 99.54%—call it about 99.46% with a simple approach. Read them once, then shuffle up.
- Four to a royal beats almost everything. Keep it over two pair, trips, straights, even a made flush. Exceptions exist, but not many you’ll see often.
- Never break a made hand— keep straights, flushes, full houses. Break two pair only if that lets you hold four to a royal.
- Low pair vs draws: keep the low pair over a four-card straight with no high cards; but four to a flush outranks a low pair—go for the flush. This fixes a lot of “forum wisdom” that tells people to chase shaky straights.
- High cards: keep suited high-card combos (Q-J, K-Q-J); if unsuited, keep the two highest only—no kickers.
- Always bet five coins. If the royal doesn’t pay the max (4,000 for 5 coins), you’re leaving value on the table; drop your coin value, not the coin count.
By the way, an old CZ forum chestnut says to “chase inside straights.” That’s a leak—skip them unless they’re part of a straight-flush or royal draw. Fixed.
Small CZ Practicalities
Stakes in video poker are adjustable, so set coin value so that five-coin bets fit your budget in Kč. On deposits and withdrawals, card and bank transfer remain the bread-and-butter in Czechia; many local players also prefer GoPay or PayU in everyday e-commerce—check the cashier to see what’s available on your account, then pick the method you trust. 22Bet runs a full Czech interface and 24/7 chat, which helps when you just want to sort a quick payout and get back to the games.
