Tens or Better
Tens or Better Video Poker
Payout 99.1%
Tens or Better is a video poker variant widely available online that is perfect for beginners. A standard deck of 52 playing cards is used in the game, and there are no wild cards in the pack.
Most casinos online offer a coin denomination from 25 cents to $5 and you can generally bet with one, two, three, four or five coins. Just adjust the coin size by clicking on the increase/decrease bet area with the coin logo.
The maximum payout for 10s or better is generally 4000 coins but you must bet the maximum and land a Royal Flush to get this (ie bet 5 coins).
As the name suggests, the payouts start rolling once you land a pair of 10s (as opposed to a pair of Jacks in Jacks or Better).

You bet one coin and get Two Pairs you win 2 credits. You bet two coins and get a Straight you win 8 credits. You bet three coins and get Four of a Kind you win 150 credits. You bet four coins and get a Straight Flush you win 200 credits.
Video Poker Double Feature:
As with most online video poker games, there is a Double or nothing bet in this variant at the end of each round where you can either double your money or lose it. Instead of collecting your winnings, click on the “Double” button and you will need to draw a card which is of a higher or lower value than the one shown. This bet makes more sense if the card shown is a low or high card, obviously.
