Article 1 - Winning Strategy 
The big payoff in video poker on the jacks or Better machines is for the royal flush - video poker games including 4,000 coins are paid for this score when all five coins are played. You always want to keep yourself in a position to take advantage of this win if the right cards are drawn and that is why I keep stressing the importance of playing the full five coins when you sit down at the video poker machine.
On progressive machines, if the full five coins are played, the total could be a great deal higher, possibly as high as $3,000 (12,000 coins) on a quarter machine. Again, the key phrase is "if the full five coins are played."
Of course, the royal doesn't come often. With correct strategy, you'll hit one every 30,000+ hands on the average. This doesn't mean, however, that you won't hit one in your very first hour of play! Meanwhile, you'll be collecting wins for straights, full houses and the like, and with proper play, you can beat the video poker machines.
To collect the full payoff for a royal flush, proper play dictates that you always play the full five coins for each game. Of course, you can play any amount of coins from 1 to 5, but that would negate the main goal of video poker - getting the royal flush and the big jackpot.

Article 2 - Jacks or Better Strategy
9-6 Machines
1. Whenever you hold four cards to a roal flush, discard the fifth card, even if that card gives you a flush or pair.
2. Keep a jacks or better pair and any higher hand such as a three of a kind or straight over three to the royal. Play the three to a royal over any lesser hand such as a low pair or four flush.
3. With two cards to a royal, keep four straights, four flushes, and high pairs or better instead. Otherwise, go for the royal.
4. Never break up a straight or flush, unless a one card draw gives you a chance for the royal.
5. Keep jacks or better over a four straight or four flush.
6. Never break up a four of a kind, full house, three of a kind and two pair hands. The rags, worthless cards for the latter two hands, should be dropped on the draw.
7. The jacks or better pair is always kept, except when you have four cards to the royal, or four to the straight flush.
8. Keep low pairs over the four straight, but discard them in favor of the four flushes and three or four to royal flush.
9. When dealt unmade hands, a pre-draw hands with no payable combination of cards, save in order, four to a royal flush and straight flush, three to a royal flush, four flushes, four straights, three to a straight flush, two cards to the royal, two cards jack or higher and one card jack or higher.
10. Lacking any of the above, with no card jack or higher, discard all the cards and draw five fresh ones.
