The Thrill of Online Video Poker Games

Discover the excitement of video poker – a game that combines strategy and chance in a fast-paced format. Whether you’re exploring classics or new casino games, video poker offers endless entertainment and exciting gameplay.

Video poker online hand variations

Like playing a blackjack game online, video poker is easy to understand. Here are the standard rankings you’ll encounter when it comes to hand variations:

• Royal Flush: The ultimate hand – 10, J, Q, K, and A of the same suit.
• Straight Flush: Five cards in sequence, all from the matching suit, such as 6-7-8-9-10 of hearts.
• 4 of a Kind: Four cards of identical rank, for example, four Kings.
• Full House: A mix of three cards of one rank and two of another, like three Aces and two Fives.
• Flush: Five cards from a matching suit, in any order.
• Straight: Five cards in successive order, irrespective of suit (e.g., 4-5-6-7-8).
• 3 of a Kind: Three cards of identical rank, such as three Jacks.
• 2 Pairs: Two separate pairs in one hand – for example, two Queens and two Tens.
• A Pair: Two matching cards, like two Kings.

How to play video poker games

Video poker is based on the classic 5-card draw poker and as a result it works in much the same way. However, it is much faster and rather than placing bets and making moves at several points during a game, you only have one chance to discard and replace your cards as you try to build a better hand.

Playing is as simple as:

• Placing a bet of up to 5 coins.
• Clicking the Deal button, following which 5 cards will be drawn to you.
• You can now choose to exchange one or more cards from your hand and then click Deal again.
• Standard Poker hand rankings apply to all versions of Video Poker.
• The result will be calculated and your winnings paid out, according to what is in your final hand.

Note: Standard video poker games are played with a 52-card deck of cards. The joker wild games, however, will also include one or more jokers.
