| Hunches and Superstitions |
|
Playing hunches or adopting superstitions won't hurt you at Video Poker unless they cause you to play a hand that doesn't have the best Average Payback. If you don't play the hand with the best Average Payback, you are giving money to the Casino. As an example of a harmless superstition, some players like to hit the Play One Credit button several times instead of pushing Play Maximum Credits.
