Full pay Jacks or Better machines are known by the shorthand 9/6 ("nine six") machines. The reason being, the first thing to check whether a Jacks or Better is full pay or not, is by checking whether minimum payout is at least 9 coin for a full house and 6 coin for a flush.

The theoretical return is based on playing perfectly by following the 9/6 Jacks or Better Strategy Card.
Notice also that the Royal Flush jumps alot when you play full coin, There is a 1.49% difference in house edge between playing 4 and 5 credits, so always try to play full coin. If its too expensive, try to jump down to a lower denomination machine.
Final word of advice is that you need to be familiar with the full pay table, as casinos will always try to squeeze a few extra bucks on the lazy. Casinos will have full machines next to non-full paying machines so you need to be careful. Another trick we are seeing lately is that they will the 9/6 payouts on the Full House and Flush but lower the straight flush and four of a kind..
Good Luck!
