Video Poker

Online Video Poker

video pokerVideo Poker is fast and it has a low house edge, approaching that of blackjack if you "play your cards right". The aim of the game is to get the best poker hand in 2 draws. You can hold or request replacement hands after the first draw. The game then pays out according to a table that varies according to which variant you are playing (try Deuces Wild Online Video Poker, for example). Play with a single hand, or play anything up to 100 hands simultaneously.

Video Poker is a fast game, and the idea is to get the best poker hand that you can across 5 cards. You´ll get dealt 5 initially, and then you have one round in which to swap out some (or all) of the cards. The odds are generally pretty good (some variants even approach that of online blackjack).

Depending on the variant you are playing, wild cards may be in play- eg in Deuces Wild poker the wild card is 2. The payout will depend on the game, but they are all based on a poker ranking.

So 2 pairs will probably get you something, three of a kind definitely will, a full house will pay generously and if you land a royal flush (and you have bet the maximum) you will scoop the jackpot. In Jacks or Better video poker, one of the more popular variants, the pay out kicks off after you get a pair of jacks, for example.
Another variation on the game is multiple hand video poker, sometimes called Power Poker, or Multihand poker in which you can play anything up to 100 hands simultaneously.
Another popular game is Aces and Faces Video Poker– again a slight variation on a common theme.

Here are some of the variants you are likely to come across:

It´s important to know your Poker Ranking

You need to know the value of the hands- so have this information to hand when you play. Many casinos will make an automatic strategic choice for you when it is time to discard cards, but it´s best to be in the know- as always. We cover this in our video poker strategy.
