Spin Poker Deluxe

Spin Poker (like Multi Strike and Super Times Pay) is a new variation on existing video poker games that provides a slot like feel and makes the machine more exciting to play. Spin Poker machines have three lines which all appear to be slot reels. Also, you can actually play up to nine lines because you can cross your lines between the three rows.

Spin Poker Deluxe is essentially the same game as Spin Poker with the addition of more pay lines. As with Spin Poker, your strategy doesn’t change, and the payback percentages don’t change. The only difference is in terms of standard deviation and volatility. Spin Poker Deluxe between Eye Candy and table games 98.63% JoB.

Here's what a Spin Poker machine looks like:

In this example I've highlighted all nine lines you can play.

How to Play Spin Play Poker

Now I'll explain how you actually play a Spin Poker game. The game begins with you choosing how many lines you'd like to play, and how many coins you'd like to bet per line. Of course, betting five coins per line gives you the best return because of the royal flush bonus. If you play all nine lines and bet five coins per line, you'll actually be betting forty-five coins per hand. If you're playing a $1 machine, you're actually betting $45 per hand!

Once you've chosen how many lines/coins to play, click Deal to start the game. You'll receive five cards in the middle row. From here, you select which cards you'd like to hold and which you'd like to discard, then click Draw to receive your new cards.

All of the cards you hold are replicated in the top and bottom rows, and the rest of the spots are filled in randomly. Keep in mind that in Spin Poker you will never see the same card twice on the machine - all of the spots are filled from one deck of cards.

Once the Draw is completed, you'll be paid out based on each of the nine lines. For example, if you were playing nine lines, bet five coins per line, and made Jacks or Better on four lines, you'd receive twenty credits back (5 credits for Jacks or Better x 4 lines = 20 credits).

Spin Poker Strategy

Although Spin Poker looks much different from a normal video poker game, you actually play with the same exact strategy you'd use for a non-Spin Poker game. Unlike Multi Strike, the Spin Poker variation doesn't change the required strategy at all.

Variation

One thing that does change however is the variation of the game. Because only one deck of cards is being used (unlike the multiple decks used in multi-play machines) you are going to see bigger swings as it takes longer for the variation to smooth out.

Spin Poker Deluxe

Another variation of Spin Poker that has recently come about is Spin Poker Deluxe. Spin Poker Deluxe plays exactly the same as Spin Poker except the fact that you can play up to twenty lines per hand. Here is a screenshot of the lines in Spin Poker Deluxe:

As you can see, there are twenty total lines you can play. Keep in mind that if you're betting five coins per line, and playing twenty lines, you're actually betting 100 coins per hand, or $100 per hand on a $1 machine!

Spin Poker Deluxe has even higher variation than normal Spin Poker because of the increase in lines while still using only one deck.

Where to Play Spin Poker

Unfortunately, none of the current video poker casinos offer Spin Poker for real money play. If you'd like to play a real money Spin Poker game you'll have to head down to your local casino, and even they might not have it. For a sure thing, head to Las Vegas.

Spin Poker looks a lot like a standard 3-line multi-play video poker game, but it has some significant differences.

The main hand is in the center line, and the other 2 lines are located above and below that line. When you decide which cards to keep and which cards to throw away, those cards are kept above and below, too.

But the cards are dealt from one deck with 47 cards left in it, which makes it impossible to get the same results on all 3 hands.

How to Play Spin Poker

All video poker games share certain gameplay features. You can find detailed explanation of those in our main video poker page. But I’ll share the basics here, too:

You start by placing a bet of between 1 and 5 coins. You should always go with the 5-coin bet, though, because that activates a higher payout on a royal flush. If you bet 1, 2, 3, or 4 coins, a royal flush pays off at 250 to 1. But when you bet 5 coins, the hand pays off at 800 to 1. It’s a significant difference that affects your bottom line over time.

Once you’ve placed your bet, you press the “deal” button, and the game deals you a 5 card poker hand. You can choose to keep or discard any, none, or all of the cards in front of you.

The computer deals you replacement cards for the ones you’ve discarded, and you get paid off based on the strength of your hand. These payoffs are detailed on the pay table for the game.

Some games are “multi-play” games, where you get the opportunity to play 3, 5, 10, or even 50 hands at a time. They all start with the same 5-card hand, but you get fresh deals on each line from a fresh 52 card deck. That’s where Spin Poker deviates from the norm. The cards are dealt from one 47 card deck, and they’re dealt from left to right in the discard spots.

Spin Poker, like many video poker variations, is just a variation that’s stapled onto an existing video poker game like Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild. It has a different name because of the 3-lines and the way the cards are dealt and replaced after the discard phase of the game.

Since this is the case, the pay tables and odds for Spin Poker are based on the base game.

Spin Poker Deluxe Online

If you’re playing Jacks or Better with a 9/6 pay table and a 99.54% payback percentage, the same numbers hold true for the Spin Poker variation of the game. (The 9/6 refers to the payouts for the full house and the flush, respectively.)

There is a difference in the volatility of the game, though, because of the extra hands. You can expect bigger swings and longer losing streaks followed by occasional larger wins that make up for them. In the long run, you’ll lose money at about the same rate as you would in any other video poker game with these pay tables. It will just take longer for the long run to kick in. (And the long run takes a while to kick in anyway—longer than most people think. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of hands.)

We’ve covered pay tables and payback percentages in detail on a lot of our other pages, but we’ll include an example of a typical pay table below to give you an idea (in case you’re a novice). This example is for a 9/6 Jacks or Better game:

This is also called a “full pay” Jacks or Better game because it’s the best common version of the game. The payback percentage for this version of the game, assuming you make the correct holding/drawing decisions on every hand, is 99.54%. The payback percentage is the amount of each bet that the casino expects to pay back in winnings over the long run (hundreds of thousands of hands).

Here’s how the payback percentage is used to calculate the expected profit on a machine:

You multiply the cost per hand by the number of bets you’re making per hour. You then multiply that by the payback percentage to get the amount paid back to the player in winnings. Subtract that from the amount bet per hour and you get the expected hourly loss.

Let’s say you’re playing the 9/6 game above. You’re placing 15 coins in action on each hand (3 hands X 5 coins per hand). Assuming you’re playing a quarter game, that’s $3.75 per hand. You’re going to average probably 600 hands per hour, so 600 X $3.75 = $2250 per hour. But the casino expects to pay you back winnings of $2250 X 99.54%, or $2239.65. You’re expected to lose the difference, $2250 – $2239.65, or $10.35 per hour.

But keep in mind that’s a long term expectation. In the short run, you’ll see a higher loss rate than that (probably) because you only see a royal flush once every 40,000 hands or so. The 800 to 1 payout for that hand makes up a lot of the return percentage.

The strategy for Spin Poker is exactly the same as it is for the base game. You can find strategy tables for almost all of the base games available on the appropriate game-specific page on our site. If you’ve never used a video poker strategy chart before, here’s how one works:

You’re given a list of possibilities from best to worst. You compare them to what’s on your list and keep the first one that applies to your hand. The royal flush is always at the top, because it’s a pat hand that pays off more than any other hand. The correct strategy choice with that hand is to hold all 5 cards and collect your winnings.

Most “pat hands”—hands that pay off without having to be improved—are held, but not in every case and not in every game. Sometimes you’ll throw away a winning hand to try to draw to a much better hand.

A game where you have a pair of jacks but also a draw to a royal flush. If you hold the pair, you’re guaranteed an even money payout. But if you draw to the royal flush, you have a 1/47 chance of winning 800 to 1. The difference in expected value is tremendous over time.

Spin Poker Deluxe is essentially the same game as Spin Poker with the addition of more pay lines. As with Spin Poker, your strategy doesn’t change, and the payback percentages don’t change. The only difference is in terms of standard deviation and volatility. In Spin Poker Deluxe, you’re dealing with 20 pay lines, which increases the chance of getting a paying hand every time you play. The difference is that you pay for each of those lines, which increases the amount of money you have in action, too.

Spin Poker with Dream Card

Free Video Spin Poker Deluxe

Spin Poker with Dream Card is the same game as Spin Poker, but for an extra 5 credits, you get the “Dream Card” option activated. To activate this option, you place 5 additional coins on your bet. When you get your initial hand, you get 4 cards plus a “dream card”, which is similar to (but not exactly the same as) a wild card. The game suggests which card would be best for you, but you have the option to change it. (And sometimes you should – Michael Shackleford suggests that sometimes the game gives the wrong advice.)

Spin Poker is an interesting fusion of a couple of different slot machine concepts with video poker play. It also resembles multi-line video poker games in some interesting ways. The nice thing about this game is that the odds and strategies are the same as for the base game, so you don’t have to learn anything new. The only disadvantage is the increased volatility, which might or might not be a problem for you. It depends on your temperament.
