Video Poker Rules, Strategy & Tips
How to Play Video Poker Online
Web video poker follows the same principles as traditional poker; the objective is to gain the highest ranked five card poker hand possible.
You must first decide how much you would like to bet and then deposit it into online video poker machine. You do this by first clicking on the desired amount in the bottom right hand corner and then clicking the money deposit area above it. You will see a note being fed into the machine. You may then select which coin denomination you wish to play - 25p, £1, £2, or £5. To increase or decrease denominations, please click on the "left arrow" or "right arrow" buttons, respectively, at the top of the Video Poker machine.
Once your money is in the video poker machine you have the choice of betting between one and five coins. Once you have decided upon your wager click the 'deal' button to be dealt your 5 card hand. You now choose how many of the cards you want to retain (or hold) by selecting them with the left mouse button. Then select 'draw' and the rejected cards (if any) will be replaced. It is at this point when your final hand emerges. Your final hand determines what you have won. The strategy of Video Poker is to know what all the winning combinations are and depending on the initial cards dealt, consider the odds of you drawing a winning card in the next draw.
