Strategy Card for 8/5 Bonus Video Poker - by Bob Dancer and Liam W. Daily
The most useful strategy cards ever designed. Four strategy levels take you from beginner to advanced, all on one durable 6-panel tri-fold pocket-sized card.
Bonus Poker is a form of Jacks or Better where you receive 40-for-1 for four 2s, 3s, and 4s and 80-for-1 for four aces. "8/5", signifying a return of 8-for-1 for the full house and 5-for-1 for the flush is the highest commonly available pay schedule for this game and returns 99.17% with perfect play. The strategy presented here is also applicable for 7/5 Bonus Poker (98.01%) and 6/5 Bonus Poker (96.97%), although the player has no realistic chance to win in the long run on such low-paying games.
The Winner's Guide corresponding to this game is Volume 1: Winner's Guide to Jacks or Better. Winner's Guides provide the same strategies as are found on the cards, but clearly explain the "why" on each of the plays. The strategy cards are more portable than the Winner's Guides, and the Winner's Guides include more information in them, but the strategies are identical between the two.
Carry the 3x5 tri-fold card with you into the casinos and refer to them while you play. Never misplay a hand again!
