Here’s to your VP education…1) What is the difference between ‘Full pay’ and ‘Short pay’ Video Poker?
A ‘Short pay’ VP pays higher coin for better hands, e.g. (4-of-a-kind).
B ‘Full Pay’ VP offers the best payback overall, while ‘Short pay’ VP reduces the payback for certain hands.
C There is no difference as the overall payback will be the same if you play optimum strategy.
