Bonus amounts, minimum deposits and payout windows come from the operators’ Kenyan pages and change without notice — read the offer terms before you deposit. 18+ only, and betting is not a way to pay bills: how to stop when it stops being fun.
Jacks or better and max-credit play
A typical pay table starts with a minimum hand of a pair of jacks, paying even money. The payback percentage expresses the long-term expected value of the player's wager as a percentage if the game is played perfectly, with those who do not play with the maximum number of credits at a time receiving a lower theoretical return.
Auto Hold, Multi-Play and Five Play
Video poker features the Auto Hold option, available in certain games, which automatically selects the cards to hold if turned on. The Multi-Play feature allows players to bet on more than one hand at a time, while Five Play Video Poker lets you play five hands simultaneously every time you hit the 'Deal' button.
Full-pay and trimmed pay tables
Casinos often choose pay tables that lower the maximum payout percentage. Notably, full-pay game variants frequently have payback percentages close to or over 100%.
Knowing the paying hands
Knowing the hand required for specific payouts can help in decision-making.
