"Jacks or Better Machines are often catalogued by their payouts on the Full House and Flush lines, since these are often the lines that are altered to increase or decrease the house edge. Thus, a 9/6 machine is a machine that returns nine coins on the Full House and six coins on the Flush.
** Minimum progressive jackpots necessary for 100%+ paybacks are as follows: Nickels—$251; Quarters—$1,252; Dollars—$5,002.
Strategy for 9/6 jacks or Better
The way to look at strategy for Jacks-or-Better video poker (and by extension all video poker) is to list the hands in order of priority. The hands on top should always be played regardless of what you have to break up to play them. Thus, if you had a low pair and a four-card straight with one high card, you would keep the low pair and discard all the rest because in the long run you will make more money by keeping that low pair. Or, if you had four to a flush but three of those are to a royal flush, you would go for the royal flush.
