6+ VariantsMost video poker advice is written for single-hand play. Multi-hand changes everything — not the optimal strategy per deal, but the risk and variance profile changes dramatically.
Playing 100-hand Jacks or Better at $0.25 per hand ($25 per deal) is mathematically similar to playing single-hand JoB at $25 per hand — but you'll see royal flushes far more often. The expected return per dollar is the same; the volatility path is very different.
