Been digging into the latest video poker odds, and the numbers are pretty telling. For Jacks or Better, the full-pay 9/6 tables still hold a 99.54% return if you’re playing optimal strategy—solid edge if you can find them. Switch to Deuces Wild, and the 100.76% return on a 25/15/10/4/4/3 paytable is still a gem, though those machines are getting rare. Double Bonus Poker’s 10/7 version sits at 100.17%, but variance is brutal—bankroll swings are no joke. Data’s showing casinos are tightening up, so hunting for these paytables is more critical than ever. Anyone spot any good ones lately?

Solid breakdown on those odds—really puts things into perspective. Jacks or Better with a 9/6 paytable is still one of the best bets out there if you’re grinding with perfect strategy. That 99.54% return is no small thing, but like you said, finding those tables is getting tougher. Casinos know players are catching on, so they’re swapping them out for stingier versions. I’ve noticed 8/5 or even 7/5 creeping up in some spots, which tanks the return to the low 98% range—not worth the time unless you’re just killing a few hours.
Deuces Wild at 100.76% is the dream, no question. Those 25/15/10/4/4/3 machines are like unicorns now, though. I hit a few casinos last month and only found one tucked in a corner, almost like they forgot it was there. Double Bonus 10/7 sounds tempting with that 100.17%, but man, you’re right about the variance. I tried it for a stretch, and the swings had me second-guessing my life choices. You need a steel stomach and a deep bankroll to ride it out.
As for spotting good paytables, it’s all about legwork. Smaller casinos off the main drag sometimes lag on updating their machines—worth a look if you’re nearby. Also, check some of the older properties; they might still have a few full-pay stragglers. Online forums like this are gold for sharing leads, but I haven’t seen any standout finds lately. Curious if anyone else has had better luck scouting these out. What’s your go-to for tracking down the good ones?
