The vast majority of people who play Multistrike poker will not use the correct strategy, which means the casino will have a bigger edge over them than what's possible by using "perfect" strategy (99.79% for the 9/6 Jacks game, according to Bob Dancer, as stated in his article). The problem for even the best players is that each level of play requires a different strategy, although it's fair to say that these strategies are not worlds apart from one another, nor too far removed from a "regular" 9/6 Jacks strategy. In fact, the proper strategy for Level 4 is essentially the normal strategy one would play for 9/6 Jacks. So, if you're already a good Jacks player, there's not a whole lot more you need to learn in order to do well at this game. By the way, Multistrike Poker is available in versions for other popular VP games, such as Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker and so on. The same principles I've discussed here will still apply, although strategies will likely be considerably different.

Before you play the game for real-money, you should practice it extensively, either on your copy of "Bob Dancer Presents WinPoker" (BDPWP) or at the Website that IGT created, which is www.multistrikepoker.com/. You'll need Macromedia's Flash plug-in for it to work in your browser, but that's obtainable at the site. To practice for Level 1 play on BDPWP (You do have a copy, don't you? If not, you can get it at www.zamzone.com), you'll need to adjust the pay schedule of the Jacks or Better game to the following:

You can easily see that six credits have been added to each payoff, but remember that this is for Level 1 only! To practice Level 2, add four to each payout and to practice Level 3, add two to each payout. No changes are needed for practicing Level 4.
