In the game «Video Poker» there are the rigid and simplified rules concerning the size of bankroll which sum would allow playing professionally. Under bankroll we understand the amount of money for game on the account of the player which he can use for game conducting. Similar rules and principles exist not only for Poker Video, but also for other games, for example, for Blackjack in which the player can get on long intervals of game advantage at gambling institution. Simply speaking, it is necessary to possess quite a big bankroll to avoid risk of money loss within a short time interval.

Rigid principle of bankroll size

On the basis of calculations of mathematicians which have estimated the necessary sum for playing in Video Poker professionally, the principle «3 to 5» has been created. This principle is complicated, as in mathematical model variability and aversion of risk of loss is taken into account. Aversion of risk is unwillingness to incur risk in case of absence of any compensation. That it is safe to play Video Poker, it is necessary to have bankroll in 3-5 times more than the prize sum at loss of combination Royal Flush.

For further presentation, we will consider a certain example: in order to play in video internet poker on the machine with rates of 25 cents, it is necessary to have on game account from 3000$ to 5000$. If game goes by the machine with the rate of 1$ bankroll should make already 60 000$ - 100 000$. Besides it is necessary to have more money for games with changeable percent of payments and less money - for Video Pokers from 101 % of payments.

The simplified rules of size bankroll

More democratic and accessible rules are also called optimum. They are so called, because they mean game conducting more carefully, with use of various strategies. For simplicity of perception, we will consider probability of loss of combination Royal Flush when the player has only 100$. Such analysis we will spend in two games of Video Poker - «Jacks and Better» and «Tens and Better».

At first we will consider slot machines «Jacks and Better» with the maximum rate 1,25$. We will divide available 100$ into the sum of the maximum rate 1,25$ and we will receive quantity of rates - 80 which it is possible to play. If to consider, that «Royal Flush» drops out about time in 10 000 played rates the probability of reception jackpot will make 1 to 500. However such method does not consider the sum which you can win, in the course of game. The percent of payments on game «Jacks or Better» is on average equal 88,8 %. That is from the put 100$, the player will receive 88,8$ in the form of a prize. On this money it is possible to make 71st rate. Certainly, after 71 rounds, the player receives back 78,75$ from 88,8$. On them it is possible to play other 63 rounds. And so on.

To learn how many games the player will play with the prize account, we will use the formula: 80 rates we will divide into a difference 1 and 0,8888. Thus we will receive 80 / (1-0,8888) = 715 games. But from the moment of dropping of Four of a Kind - jackpot will drop out on the average each 424 games. We will add it to percent of payments and we will receive 94,75 %. If we will count how many games it is possible to play, we will receive 80 / (1-0,9475) =1520 rates. A conclusion: 1520 games give to the player probability of dropping of «Royal Flush» - 1 to 26. The sum of money 26 times larger than 100$ - 2600$ is necessary to have an opportunity to win jackpot.

In game «Tens and Better» the percent of payments is made by 97 % that is more than 94,75 % in game «Jacks or Better». Such advantage gives possibility to play more games at identical quantity of money on the account. We will calculate their quantity - 80 / (1-0,97) =2665. The quantity of rates in 1,25$ can be made much more. And probability of dropping of the combination «Royal Flush» has increased to 1 to 15. I.e. to the player for stable game before hitting jackpot, it is necessary to have 1500$ on game account.

Summing up, it is possible to tell that to win jackpot is much easier in game «Tens and Better», than in game « Jacks or Better». But it is logical, because rules of games differ. Irrespective of a kind of game machine for playing Video Poker, the player will always receive a portion of adrenaline. To study how to play Video Poker is possible on emulators game machine «Video Poker» in any online casino. Now, anyone can count up the sum of money for the confident game in Video Poker, irrespective of its version.
