While slot machines often feature swirling lights, lines of eager players, and clips from vintage TV shows, video poker machines can usually be found sitting alone with very little fanfare. This is not, however, an indication of their true worth, as these machines allow for a degree of skill which is not present in slots. In some cases, the house edge can also be reduced to below zero, giving the player a rare opportunity to hold an advantage over the casino./p>h2>History/h2>p>Video poker machines started appearing in casinos in the mid-1970s, a melding of a primitive CPU and television monitor. The first few years of its existence were relatively mundane, but the game slowly began to develop a fan base with the release of Draw Poker in 1979. /p>p>Throughout the 1980s, the game added more names to its list of fans, especially when word got out about the casual pace and solitary nature. The ability to cancel the house edge didnt hurt either, although video poker has always lived in the shadow of slot machines and their more glamorous reputation. /p>p>In time, it has developed into a game that caters to both serious players and those who shun the limelight of a craps or blackjack table. While early machines were limited to options such as Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild, the modern player has over 100 varieties to choose from. Considering the out-of-nowhere popularity enjoyed by Texas holdem in the early years of the new millennium, video poker is always just a few steps removed from becoming an international phenomenon. /p>h2>Rules of the Game/h2>p>Below is a complete explanation for how to play video poker, and youll be glad to know that they are among the easiest rules to understand in the world of casino gaming. /p>p>The basic game is played with a virtual deck of 52 cards, although versions including jokers have 53 or 54 cards. The object of a hrefhttp://www.worldcasinoindex.com/video-poker/>video poker/a> is to make the best possible hand, and payouts are based on the players final five cards. /p>p>You must wager money in order to play, and this is how the game begins. Denominations range from one to five coins, although the actual value of these bets may run into dollars instead of cents. Still, you have five options for your wager, with the maximum bet being required for a chance at the royal flush bonus. /p>p>Once the money has been deposited into the video poker machine, the game starts by dealing five cards at random. The player must decide which cards to keep and which to discard. Any number of cards can be gotten rid of, or the player may choose to retain all his initial cards. /p>p>Below each card is a button that can be pressed to designate items to be discarded. When the player is finished with his decision, pressing another button will execute the discard option. The discarded items are then replaced by additional random cards to create the players final hand. /p>p>No additional action may be taken by the player. The strength of the final hand is calculated by the machine and payouts are issued accordingly. /p>h2>Useful Terminology/h2>p>Whether youre a veteran player or a rookie sitting in front of a machine for the first time, knowing the following terms will allow you to better succeed in the world of video poker./p>p>strong>Average Payback/strong> - The expected value for a particular game. /p>p>strong>Comps/strong> - Short for compensation, comps are free items given to players by the casino in exchange for frequent patronage. /p>p>strong>Deal/strong> - The initial distribution of a five-card hand to the player in a game of video poker. /p>p>strong>Discard/strong> - To get rid of cards after the initial deal./p>p>strong>Draw/strong> - The second and final deal of the cards.

More games are available, but this list includes the most common varieties and should be enough to get you started. /p>p>strong>4-5 Bonus Poker/strong> - While the game does have a more generous pay table than many other machines, players only get four cards during the deal (instead of the usual five). /p>p>strong>Seven Stud Poker/strong> - Played with a 53-card deck, which includes one joker. The player receives two up cards and five down cards. Each new card that is flipped up is followed by an opportunity for betting, or the player can press the deal all button to reveal all cards and end the round. /p>p>strong>Ace & Deuce Bonus Poker/strong> - The emphasis of this game is on aces and deuces, with four aces (plus a deuce) and four deuces (plus an ace) paying second only to a royal flush. The top payback percentage on the game is 98.78%./p>p>strong>Ace Invaders/strong> - Up to three lines of cards are played at the same time. If an ace immediately helps the line below it, the game will cause it to fall to the next level. The player can choose to play one, two, or three lines, and each is dealt from a separate deck. /p>p>strong>Ace on the Deal/strong> - If the player chooses to pay a sixth coin, they can be guaranteed that the first dealt card will be an ace. Otherwise, it plays much like a standard game of video poker. /p>p>strong>Aces and Eights/strong> - Four aces or four eights offer the second-highest payouts in the game. The payback percentage is 99.78%. /p>p>strong>Aces and Faces/strong> - Besides the royal flush, the most valuable hand is comprised of four aces. Four jacks, queens, or kings pay 10 credits less than the straight flush. /p>p>strong>Ace$ Bonus Poker/strong> - The games aces are each marked with one of the following symbols: A, C, E, or $. If you get these cards in order to spell out ACE$, then you win as much as a royal flush (800 times the initial wager). /p>p>strong>Big Split Poker/strong> - The player is dealt a total of eight cards and must organize them into a 5-card and 3-card hand. The player can choose to wager on either the 5-card hand or both hands. /p>p>strong>Big Win Poker/strong> - Youll need jacks or better to win on this game, but two pair pays nothing. The full-pay version offers a payback percentage of 99.03%./p>p>strong>Black Jack Bonus Poker/strong> - The 9/6 version of the game features a 98.10% payback percentage. Getting four aces plus a black jack pays the same as a royal flush (800), and four-of-a-kind plus a black jack pays anywhere from 400 to 160 credits. /p>p>strong>Build a Wheel Poker/strong> - In addition to video poker, this game has a wheel of fortune. The initial slots on the wheel are a 4000-coin win and a progressive win, and the other slots are filled in each time the player gets a straight, flush, or three-of-a-kind. When all slots are filled, the player gets to spin the wheel for an additional prize. /p>p>strong>Deuce on the Deal/strong> - By paying extra at the beginning of the game, the player can be assured of getting a deuce on the deal. A natural royal flush pays 2000 times the initial wager, while four deuces pay 500 times the bet. Anything less than three-of-a-kind pays nothing. /p>p>strong>Deuces Wild /strong>- All deuces are wild in this version of the game. When played with perfect strategy, the theoretical payback percentage on a full-pay version of the game is a generous 100.8%. /p>p>strong>Double Bonus/strong> - A bonus payout for four aces is offered, and the payback percentage can rise as high as 100.2% (on the 10/7 version). /p>p>strong>Double Double Bonus/strong> - With a possible return of 100.1 percent, this variation of Jacks or Better offers expanded payouts for various four-of-a-kind hands. The most profitable of these is four aces with either a two, three, or four kicker (which pays 400 times the wager). /p>p>strong>Five Aces/strong> - A game that includes an extra ace in the deck. Getting all five aces offers the largest payout. /p>p>strong>Good Times Pay/strong> - The game normally functions like a standard triple-play machine. However, the player also has the option to play an additional one to five coins to activate random multipliers. Three multipliers will be chosen from a pool of 30, and one will be applied to each hand. Multipliers range from one to seven. /p>p>strong>Jacks or Better/strong> - The most common version of video poker, this game requires the player to get at least a pair of jacks in order to receive a payout. /p>p>strong>Joker Poker Kings or Better/strong> - Wild jokers are added to the deck. In order to qualify for a payout, the player must get a pair of kings or better.

The full-pay version of the game has a payback percentage of 98.42%. /p>p>strong>Joker Poker Two Pair/strong> - Another game that includes jokers in the deck. A minimum of two pair is required for a payout. The full-pay expected payout percentage is 99.92%. /p>p>strong>Max Out Poker/strong> - When one to five coins are wagered, the game functions as normal. However, an additional one to three coins can be risked to buy additional lines with more generous pay tables. /p>p>strong>Multi-Strike/strong> - Up to four lines can be played, with bets on each ranging from one to five coins. The bottom hand receives five cards and functions as normal, but the player must get a paying hand (or a free ride card) in order to advance to the next line. All wins on the second level are doubled, while wins on the third level are tripled. The biggest bonus comes on level four, when all winnings are multiplied by eight. If the player fails to obtain a winning hand on any level, they are unable to advance and the game ends. /p>p>strong>One-Eyed Jacks/strong> - A variation in which the pair of one-eyed jacks serve as wild cards. Five-of-a-kind pays 75 times the initial wager, while a natural royal flush pays 800. /p>p>strong>Pay the Aces/strong> - This game functions like Double Bonus video poker, except for the fact that players receive a bonus for getting one or more aces on the deal without any face cards. For example, one ace on the deal with no faces pays even money, while four aces pay 500 times the initial wager. /p>p>strong>Pick em Poker/strong> - The game begins with the player receiving two cards. An additional two cards are dealt, and the player must choose one of these to add to the initial two cards. Finally, another two cards are added to the players hand to determine their final payout. /p>p>strong>Royal Court /strong>- As the name would imply, getting four kings, queens, or jacks leads to higher payouts in this game./p>p>strong>Tens or Better/strong> - Plays like Jacks or Better, except that the player only needs a pair of tens to qualify for a payout. /p>p>strong>Three Card Draw Poker/strong> - This game is played with four decks, and the initial deal only delivers three cards to the player. The player may also choose between two games: Bonus Poker and Sevens or Better. Three-play, five-play, and ten-play options are also included. The highest payout is awarded for three ace of spades, which delivers 800 times the players initial wager. /p>p>strong>Triple Bonus Poker Kings or Better/strong> - The player needs a pair of kings or better to finish in the money, and increased payouts are offered for four-of-a-kind hands. Numerous pay tables exist, including 10/7/5, 11/7/4, 10/7/4, and 9/5/4. /p>p>strong>Ultimate X/strong> - The player may choose a single hand, or he can play 3, 5, or 10 lines at a time. The player also has the option of doubling their wager, which will lead to a bonus multiplier for any winning hand. /p>p>strong>Video Hold Em /strong>- The player can choose to wager 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 coins. The player is then dealt a pair of two-card hands, and he must choose which one of them to keep (with the other two going back into the deck). The player then receives five more cards, and his payout is based on the best five-card hand that can be created with his seven cards. /p>p>strong>Wheel Poker/strong> - Options include 3-play and 5-play. Up to six coins per hand can be wagered, with the maximum bet allowing the player to spin the bonus wheel when four-of-a-kind come up during the initial deal. /p>p>Now that you understand the basics of video poker, I invite you to explore the rest of our site and read detailed articles on specific versions of the game.
