Tens or Better
Tens or Better is Jacks or Better with its floor lowered by one rank: a pair of tens now qualifies for a payout, where the base game pays nothing below a pair of jacks. No wild cards, no changed ranking above that floor — the one difference is which pairs count.
Lowering the floor means small wins land more often than they do on Jacks or Better. It does not, on its own, say whether the game returns more or less overall — that depends on where the rest of the pay table is set, which this page does not have a verified figure for.
No Verified Return Yet
A lower floor does not settle the question of a better or worse return on its own, and this site has not independently verified a Tens or Better schedule to answer it either way. Borrow a Jacks or Better percentage for this game and the borrowed number is simply wrong for the game you are actually looking at.

The Rest Carries Over
Jacks or Better's full hand ranking above tens applies here unchanged, and so does its optimal-strategy approach — the strategy page covers what "optimal" means once you have learned the round itself on how to play video poker.
Tens or Better FAQs
A pair of tens. Any pair from tens through aces pays; a pair of nines or lower pays nothing, the same shape of rule as Jacks or Better one rank down.
Not by itself. It means small wins land more often, but the overall return depends on the rest of the pay table, which is not verified for this variant here. The pay tables page explains what to check.
