9/6 Jacks or Better Alive in Atlantic City

I had an epiphany in Atlantic City last week.  Well, more of a thought than an epiphany.  I read so many complaints about the lack of 9/6 Jacks or Better video poker available in Atlantic City, but at least the games are available.

In fact, unlike Las Vegas, there are a few 9/6 Jacks or Better machines at every casino in Atlantic City.  In fact, vpFREE shows that not even the Pennsylvania casinos all have 9/6 video poker.

I played 9/6 video poker at both Bally’s and Caesars in different denominations.  The Full House above is from Caesars in quarter denomination.  The 4 aces below is from Bally’s in the $1 denomination.

Of course the odds at 9/6 Jacks or Better are 99.56% to the player and that’s a major reason why people play.  The full house above is when the “9″ comes in handy.  I play because it’s the most simple to learn perfect strategy with the least volatility.

Bottom line: Atlantic City visitors should be happy that they have at least a few good video poker machines to go along with 3:2 blackjack.  It’s some of the best gambling around.

Brandon, sounds like my luck every time I play @ B Bar. At least they offer 9/6 and the drinks are good!

Played 7/5 today at Hollywood Casino in PA. Naturally, I hit 2 short pay FHs in about a 10 minute timespan.

Why is that always the case? :)
