cross between Stud Poker, a slot machine and a few wild cards thrown in.
Video Poker was first introduced during the 1970's. Video Poker is so popular
because it combines aspects of both luck and skill. There is no hidden house
advantage. Every draw begins with a fresh deck of shuffled cards. Certain video
poker machines actually have a positive financial expectation if played perfectly
for long enough.
If you know how to play poker then you know the basics of video poker. Most
video poker machines are based on five card draw poker. Players are dealt five
cards initially and can throw out any or all of them to improve their hand. New
cards are dealt to replace those discarded. The final five cards after the draw
determine whether or not you get paid.
The game is played fast. You have a range of game options to choose from. You
also have the option of playing from 1 through 5 coins, with payoffs improving
with more coins used. All variations in video poker rank hands the same, though
a given variation may add an extra rank or two.
always bet the maximum
number of coins that are
allowed. For example, if
you bet 5 coins, all winning
hands are paid out
multiplied by a factor of 5,
except for the royal flush.
Video Poker play at first appears to be similar to regular slot machine play, but
the two are actually quite different. You begin Video Poker games the same
way... by inserting a coin into the machine and clicking on the play button, but this
is where it changes. Cards appear on the screen and it’s up to you decide which
cards to hold, ranging from none to all five. The choice is completely yours.. Your
objective in video poker, as in any other poker, is to get the best or highest hand
possible.
Jacks or Better was the original form of video poker, but newer versions include
Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Joker's Wild, Poker Frenzy and
others. (see list at right)
Video poker is a game of skill as well as luck. Find the video poker strategy that
works best for you, and you can make a lot of money. The video poker machines
are programmed to pay-out up to 100% when players play at the expert level
