This game does tell you the hand strength, so that may offer a little help for new poker players, or rusty ones.
Some video poker machines pay out for a pair of Jacks or better (Queens, Kings, Aces), and some machines don't.
You only win what you bet with that payout, so there is no gain.
However, that does lessen your losses and can make the difference.
Machines paying out for Jacks or better general have better odds for the player, so look for them when playing for real money in a casino.
This game does pay for jacks or better, so it makes good practice for players who prefer that game play.
Some machines payout different ratios for the hands too.
It is usually the Straights - Flushes - Full Houses where you will find the differences.
This game uses an 5-8-10 setup, meaning 5 to 1 for straights, 8 to 1 for flushes, and 10 to 1 for a full house.
A little time spent picking the right machine can give you an edge in an arcade.
