Video poker can be played up to 100 hands. This simply means that besides the five dealt cards, you also have 99 other sets of the same dealt cards. The drawn cards, however, will vary, therefore, forming different hands, which will definitely earn you payouts.
Many people believe, then, that they can increase their odds of winning in video poker if they play more hands. That’s why there are some people who invest their time and money in three and five-hand video poker games while others go for 10, 50, and even 100 Hand Video Poker.
However, the common belief of having more chances of winning by playing more hands is false when you’re playing a multi-hand video poker game that has the same pay table with that of a single-hand full pay game. As long as the pay tables are the same for a full pay Jacks or Better Video Poker, for example, you will score the same payouts when you hit a straight flush.
The same goes for the strategy when playing 100 Hand Video Poker. Provided that it has the same pay table with single-hand game, you must always use the same video poker strategy combinations to finish with better hands. Don’t fall into the trap of not sticking to effective strategies just because you now have more hands to play. Keep in mind that if you’re playing three-hand full pay Jacks or Better, there is still a 99.54% payout percentage.

Ultimately I decided that it is worth it because it is the best real life example of CCSS 7.SP. 6 and CCSS 7.SP.7 I can imagine. Where else in real life can you see an event with multiple outcomes play out 100 times in less than a minute to compare theoretical and experimental probability? 100 is also a fantastic number to work with as X% is literally X per hundred, so with 100 hands, we would expect to see X instances per hundred.
Students will likely need some background both on poker hand rankings and how a 100-hand machine works.
Poker Hand Rankings
I am going to assume a basic understanding of a deck of cards and poker in general. This is a refresher of some of the poker hand rankings that are relevant to this lesson:
Royal Flush – An A-K-Q-J-10 of the same suit (in this case A-K-Q-J-10 of hearts)
Straight Flush – All five cards in a row and of the same suit (in this case K-Q-J-10-9 of hearts since A-K-Q-J-10 is considered a Royal Flush)
Flush – All five cards are the same suit (in this case all Hearts)
Straight – All five cards in a row (in this case A-K-Q-J-10 or K-Q-J-10-9 where all the cards are not the same suit)
Pair of Jacks or better – A pair of cards within the five cards where both cards in the pair are J, Q, K, or A (in this case only pairs of J, Q, and K are possible)
Note that while you must have five cards in a row for a straight flush or straight, they don’t necessarily have to be dealt to you in order. So 4-6-8-5-7 is still a straight because within your hand you have the five cards you need to have five cards in a row.
Also, in case it wasn’t clear, a hand only qualifies for its highest rank. For example, a Royal Flush is also a straight flush, flush, and straight but is only considered to be a Royal Flush.
How a 100-Hand Machine Works
A 100-hand machine works by beginning with the player being dealt one hand. Every card the player holds is then held on the other 99 hands. If you look closely at the image below you will notice that at this point, the player has decided to discard the Q of Clubs and hold four cards (K-J-Q-10 of Hearts) because only the four cards being held say “HELD†at the bottom of each card. As a result, each of the 100 hands shows these four cards being held with one card that needs to be drawn. - ImageThe 100-hand video poker machine before the first card is drawn.
- Teacher noteOnce the player presses “DRAW†each of the hundred hands is dealt the new fifth card, one at a time, from 100 separate decks. It is important to emphasize that these are separate decks. As such, just because one hand gets dealt an 8 of Hearts, the next hand still can get an 8 of Hearts as well.
Lastly, the hundred hands are separated such that (starting at the top) there are nine rows of ten hands (90 total hands), then a row of 9, then the one at the bottom. That is a total of 100 (90 + 9 + 1).
Since a deck of poker cards consists of 52 cards, and 5 cards have been dealt, 47 cards remain. Let’s look at each possible hand separately and remember that the player is beginning with:
King of Hearts, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Hearts, and 10 of Hearts - Teacher noteRoyal Flush
Only the Ace of Hearts will give the player a Royal Flush. So, there is 1 card out of 47 remaining cards that will give her a Royal Flush. So, she has a 1 in 47 (about 2.1%) chance of getting a Royal Flush. Since there will be 100 hands and about 2.1% will be the card needed for a Royal Flush, students should expect there to be about 2 Royal Flushes.
Straight Flush
Similarly to the Royal Flush, only the 9 of Hearts will give the player a Straight Flush. Therefore, there is 1 card out of 47 remaining cards that will give her a Straight Flush. So, she has a 1 in 47 (about 2.1%) chance of getting a Straight Flush. Since there will be 100 hands and about 2.1% will be the card needed for a Straight Flush, students should also expect there to be about 2 Straight Flushes.
Flush
There are 13 cards in each suit of the deck. Four Hearts have been dealt to the player already (K-Q-J-10). An Ace or a 9 of Hearts would give the player a Royal Flush or Straight Flush, respectively. Therefore, only the remaining seven Hearts will give the player a Flush. So, there are 7 cards out of 47 remaining cards that will give her a Flush. Accordingly, she has a 7 in 47 (about 14.9%) chance of getting a Flush. Since there will be 100 hands and about 14.9% will be the card needed for a Flush, students should also expect there to be about 15 Flushes.
Straight
Any Ace or 9 will give the player a straight (A-K-Q-J-10 or K-Q-J-10-9). There are four Aces and four 9s. However, the Ace and 9 of Hearts will give the player a Royal Flush or Straight Flush, respectively. Therefore, only six cards remain that will give the player a Straight. So, there are 6 cards out of 47 remaining cards that will give her a Straight. Accordingly, she has a 6 in 47 (about 12.8%) chance of getting a Straight. Since there will be 100 hands and about 12.8% will be the card needed for a Straight, students should also expect there to be about 13 Straights.
Pair of Jacks or better
The player has already been dealt a K-Q-J-10, so another King, Queen, or Jack will give the player a pair of Jacks or better. There are four Kings, Queens, and Jacks. However, the King, Queen, and Jack of Hearts as well as the Queen of Clubs have already been dealt. Therefore, only eight cards will give the player a pair of Jacks or better. So, there are 8 cards out of 47 remaining cards that will give her a pair of Jacks or better. Accordingly, she has a 8 in 47 (about 17.02%) chance of getting a pair of Jacks or better. Since there will be 100 hands and about 17.02% will be the card needed for a pair of Jacks or better, students should also expect there to be about 17 pairs of Jacks or better.
