Poker
Video Poker is the most exciting addition to
casinos ( whether online or land based ) since the introduction of
Baccarat in the late 1960's. There are many versions to pick from
such as Jacks of Better, Deuces Wild, Aces and Faces, All American,
Joker Poker and many more. And recently online casinos have begun
introducing multi Hand games that allow you to play as many as 50 or
more hands at one time, increasing your odds of winning. Video Poker
is based on the traditional poker games like Jacks or Better with
the object being to make the highest ranking hand possible with what
you are dealt. On your first hand, you're dealt five cards and you
have the opportunity to discard the cards you don't want or need,
and receive new cards to make the best hand. The ranking of hands
varies slightly with each type of game, with the Natural Royal Flush
normally being the highest ranking hand that you can have.
To understand the different types of hands you need to get
in order to win in Video Poker, look at the pay table. Most games
will list the order of importance starting at the top with the Royal
Flush and working downwards to a single pair hand. Some games
require a minimum of a pair of 10's or Better, or Jacks or Better in
order to win. The payouts on each type of hand will also vary from
each type of game. For instance, a Flush in Jacks or Better may pay
you 30 coins when betting the maximum coins , while a Flush in
Deuces Wild pays 15 coins when betting the maximum coins. The reason
for this difference in payouts on these two games is that in Jacks
or Better there are no Wild Cards, therefore it's a bit less common
to receive certain hands, while in Deuces Wild there are four Wild
Cards, making the odds greater for getting winnings hands, more
often. Read the rules for each game if it's your first time playing,
so you'll be aware of the nuances of that game.
