All American Video Poker by Cryptologic

All American video poker by Cryptologic is very similar to the standard Jacks or Better. Moreover, it is also played with a standard deck of 52 cards. Players are dealt 5 cards and can hold as many as they like or replace as many new cards as they need from the deck.

Players at Play Million Online Casino play the Cryptologic All American Poker regularly judging by the comments we have read in various forums.

The difference between All American and Jacks or Better is all in the payout tables. Below is a breakdown of how All American differs from the standard Jacks or Better payouts:

• Royal Flush – Same
• Straight Flush – Higher 90 compared to Jacks or Better 50
• Four of Kind – Higher 35 compared to Jacks or Better 25
• Full House – Lower 8 compared to Jacks or Better 25 9
• Flush – Higher 8 compared to Jacks or Better 6
• Straight – Higher 8 compared to Jacks or Better 4
• 3 of a Kind – Same
• Two Pair – Lower 1 compared to Jacks or Better 2
• 1 pair – Same

Despite the fact that All American offers a payback of over 100% in a perfect play, it is not as popular as one might expect it to be. Many people also like to play the Playtech version of All American Poker which is very similar to the Cryptologic American Poker version.

Standard Jacks or Better is different from the payouts as it doesn’t correspond with how frequently the hands come up during a good session of play. Payouts for a full house, flush and straight are 9, 6 and 4 -1, but the frequency of these hands was much closer than the payouts suggest.
