How to Play Video Poker

Online Video Poker slightly resembles slots games because it is played by placing or deciding on the amount of your bet and then pressing a �play� or �deal� button. The game is based on 5-card draw poker so that when the play button is pressed, five cards appear on your screen

You can then choose which cards you wish to keep by pressing a 'hold' button. Those cards without the hold will be removed and then your 'dealer', i.e. computer, will replace them with new cards. The computer then evaluates your hand and, if it matches any of the winning hands in the posted pay schedule, you get a payout. Most payouts in online video poker will only start with a pair of jacks.


Online Video Poker Variations

The above explanation is for the standard online video poker game. But today, with the advancement and progress in computer technology, there are many exciting and innovative video poker variations. You can play video poker on line with games like: All Aces, Aces and Faces, All American, Double Joker - and many more.

Gambling with all the available video poker variations gives a real thrill to anyone who wants to play video poker.
