Video Poker - Introduction

Video poker is an easy to use, single player electronic card game and requires only a basic understanding of poker hands. For players who enjoy the opportunity to play poker by themselves and like the added element of playing a small amount of money and winning large, then video poker gambling is an ideal choice.

Casino video poker machines resemble slot machines and often cover as much as half of a casino's floors. There are hundreds of different versions of Video Poker machines available to choose from, but they are usually based on the original five-card draw poker. Video poker machines use randomised components, which results in a fantastic game needing both skill and luck.

Playing video poker is straightforward, intense and can deliver big returns on small bets. You will be dealt five cards from which you can hold or deal over. Simply press the deal button to go for the chance of a winning hand. The size of your bet can be adjusted – the higher the wager, the higher the prizes.

If your cards make up a winning hand you will be offered an opportunity to double your money or collect. The video poker machine will deal one card and give you four to choose from. If the card you pick is higher than the dealer you double your prize.
