| Premise | |
A Littlewoods Casino online Video Poker machine operates like any Video Poker machine found in casinos throughout the world. The only difference, which is greatly favorable for the player, is that you can switch your bet from 25p to £5 a game without changing to another machine! A 52 card deck is used and is reshuffled after each hand. The different combinations and their respective payoffs for each Video Poker machine are shown in the Payoff section below.
| How to Play | |
The objective of Video Poker is to receive the highest ranked five card poker hand possible. To begin playing Littlewoods Casino online Video Poker, you must deposit money into the machine. To do this, you must select an amount to deposit (£5, £10, £20, £50, £100) from the panel at the bottom right hand corner of the Video Poker screen. You can toggle through the different amounts by clicking on the panel. Once you have made your selection, deposit the money into the Littlewoods Casino online Video Poker machine by clicking on the money deposit area. You should see a note move into the Video Poker 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 you have deposited into the Video Poker machine and selected a coin denomination, the amount of coins you have available within the machine is shown in the CREDIT field at the bottom of the Video Poker machine. For example, if you deposit £20 when the coin denomination selector is set to £1, you will see 19 coins in the CREDIT field and 1 in the Bet field for a total of 20. If you then click the "left arrow" button of the coin denomination selector (which changes the coin value to 25p), you will then see that the CREDIT field has been changed to 79 coins. The BET field displays the amount of coins you have selected to bet on that hand. Please note that the Balance field will not change when you change the coin denomination since they show your balance in pounds (not coins).
Once you have deposited into the Video Poker machine, you may then click on the "Bet One" button up to the amount of coins you would like to play to a maximum of 5 coins. If you would like to play with the maximum amount of coins (5), you may alternatively choose to simply click the "Bet Max" button. When you are ready, click on the "Deal" button to distribute the cards. You will be given 5 cards. The Video Poker software uses a 52 card deck which is played fresh after each hand. Then you hold onto the card(s) that you need in order to achieve the highest ranked poker hand possible. You may hold cards by simply clicking on them. When you do so, the held cards will be displayed with a thumb tack on them. Once you have selected a given amount of cards to hold, click on the "Draw" button again. The cards that were not marked with a thumb tack will be replaced. If after this replacement you have any combination of cards that qualifies for a payout, your credit will be increased by the amount of coins shown in the Paid field.
To change the type of Video Poker machine you are playing, click on "Games Menu" and select the game you would like to play. When you change the game type, your credit and coin denominations will not change.
Note:
You can only change the Video Poker machines when your hand is finished, i.e. when the BET buttons are active.

Deuces Wild
In the Video Poker machine "Deuces Wild" any 2 is considered as wild. If there is a wild card (cards) in the deck, then a hand with four cards of the same rank plus any deuce card is considered as a winning combination, "Five of a kind". Another difference in paytables for the games with wild cards is that "natural" Royal Flush (that is, Royal Flush without any wild cards) is paid higher than Wild Royal Flush.
