Playing Video Poker Online

Video Poker has steadily grown in popularity and is now one of the most popular online casino games out there. This it due to its good payout rate (depending on the variant or type of video poker of course- more on that later), its ease of play and the size of the jackpots that these games carry. The rules mimic classic draw poker. You click on the "Deal" button, and cards are dealt. You go through one review stage, generally, when you can throw some (or all) of your cards away, and the dealer deals again, making up a 5 card hand.

The aim is to scoop a winning hand. The value of your hand is set by the pay table for the game, and will follow classic poker hand rankings. So you need to know when to “hold” and when to “throw" your cards (in most cases, there is an option for the casino to select the optimum strategy for you). 

The key thing about video poker, and one of the reasons why it is our favourite casino game online, is the low house adge, which comes in under most os the other casino games offered online. In our view, smart players play video poker! Why play craps, when you can play a game with superior odds? Jacks or Better video poker, in particular, has a payout of around 99.5%. Compare that to online slots which generally pay out a measly 97% (and lower on the progressive games). Roulette has a house edge of between  2.6% to 5.2%. Only blackjack played to a perfect startegy is going to give you better odds, and we think video poker is much more fun.

How to Play Video Poker Online

You could say that video poker was a mish mash of slots and poker. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to make up the best hand possible with the five cards you are dealt. You have one intermediate round in which to throw away any cards that are duds. So, one of the most important aspects of video poker is to develop a water tight strategy to maximize your winnings.
Learn the fundamentals, and practice on the free games before you wade in and bet for real.
