Comments: Please remember that the chart below is for Level 1 only of a 9/6 Jacks or Better version of this game. In succeeding articles, I'll cover all the other levels, but if you can't wait until then, use your copy of "Video Poker Strategy Master" (also available at www.zamzone.com/), which is what I did. Just adjust the pay schedule as mentioned above, do some judicious editing, then verify it all on BDPWP and you'll be set. Anyway, here's my version:
