Machines vary in the payout for the Full house and the Flush. Check the machine payout window. Players should be aware that low payouts for the full house and flush will significantly reduce net winnings. Table one is sometimes called a 9-6 machine (full house 9 and flush 6 with one coin bet). Table 2 is sometimes called a 8-5 machine, and Table 3 is sometimes called a 6-5 machine.
