Video Poker
Online Video Poker machines operate like any other Video Poker machines found in casinos throughout the world. The main difference is that you can switch your bet amount without changing to another machine. A 52-card deck is used (53 for Joker Poker) and is reshuffled after each hand.
THE OBJECTIVE: The objective of Video Poker is to gain the highest ranked five-card poker hand possible.
THE ACTION: To begin playing Video Poker, you must deposit money into the machine. Denominations include: $1, $5 or $25, although some machines offer 25 cent games. Depending on the game format, you either drag and drop or click on the coins to place your bet. You should find the minimum and maximum limit on your screen off to the left or right of the machine.
Once you have deposited to the Video Poker machine, you may then click on the "Bet One" button up to the amount of coins you would like to play to a maximum of 5 coins. If you would like to play with the maximum number of coins (5), you may alternatively choose to simply click the "Bet Max" button. When you are ready, click on the "Deal" button to distribute the cards.
You will be given 5 cards. Then you hold the card(s) you need in order to achieve the highest ranked poker hand possible.
You may hold cards by simply clicking on the hold button. Once you have selected the cards to hold, click on the "DEAL" button again to receive their substitutions. The cards that were not marked as "HELD" will be replaced.
After this replacement, the hand is over. If you have a hand that qualifies for a payout, your credit will be automatically increased by the amount of coins shown in the "PAID" field.
Casinos create variations of video poker so it is recommended to read the rules
and payouts before playing. Some standard game types include:
| Jacks or Better
- This is the most popular version of Video Poker. Basically, you need to get a pair of jacks or better in order to get paid (hence the name). |
| Deuces Wild
- In the Deuces Wild version of Video Poker, all deuces are treated as wild cards. This means that whenever you get a 2, you can use that card as any card you like - you can therefore change it's face value and/or suit to work with the hand you have. With Deuces Wild, you have a far better chance of getting good hands. The casino compensates for this by offering a tighter payout schedule. You only get paid with a three of a kind or better. |
| Jokers Wild
- Jokers Wild is five-card draw poker with the addition of one joker. This means you are playing with a 53-card deck instead of 52. The Joker is a wild card, and can be played as any card you want.
The existence of a wild card increases your chances of getting a good hand, so the payout schedule is adjusted accordingly. You need two pair or better to get paid. |
Doubling Video Poker
- Doubling offers you the chance to double the current value of your payout. Here's how to play. After winning a poker hand, you press the double button. The cards are reshuffled and a new set of 5 cards is drawn. But only the first card is exposed. This is the dealer's card. Select one of the remaining four cards by clicking on it.
1. If the card you select has a rank higher than the dealer's card, you will win double your original payout. You have a chance to double your payout again on the next hand or collect your winnings.
2. If the card you selected is of equal rank, there is a tie and you can collect your winnings or try again.
3. If the card you choose is of lesser rank than the dealer's, you lose and will not receive a payout. |
