Video Poker

Playing Video Poker is kind of like playing Poker on a slot machine and it's a favorite for players who like fast, frantic action. The game demands quick decision making and a basic understanding of the different strategies for different payout schedules.

How to Play

The basic play of Video Poker is deceptively simple. You choose a wager and then spin. You are dealt five cards and you decide which ones to keep by pressing a hold button underneath the ones you want. You then spin again and get the the cards you threw away are replaced. You can then check the pay schedule to see if you have a winning hand. In some games, you are also given the chance to double your winnings after a winning hand. If you do, the dealer uncovers one of the five cards and you must pick a higher card to double your money (ties are considered a push and a lower card is a loss).

It sounds pretty simple and it is but there are many different kinds of video poker and many of them have slightly different pay schedules which call for slightly different styles in play. To start with, it is best to learn one game and stick with it until you feel comfortable. After that, move on to others but don't forget to look over the pay schedules before you start.

Tip

Many games offer large jackpots but you can only win them by playing the maximum amount of coins. If you feel uncomfortable placing large bets than find cheaper machines and max out the bets.
Video Poker is one your best options for pure fun and fast action, a great game for the beginner and for the expert alike.
