The number of coins or credits paid for a particular winning hand. For convenience in calculations, it is usually expressed on a “per-coin” basis. For example, a Full House in standard full pay Jacks-or-Better with five coins bet pays 45 coins, but instead of 45-for-5 this is usually expressed as 9-for-1. Note the use of “for” rather than “to” for the payoff odds; this is because the ‘ bet has already disappeared into the guts of the machine, and a Full House returns nine coins or credits for each coin or credit bet, which is actually an 8-to-1 payoff.
