Video Poker is a popular game in casinos and online. If you are worried about the differences between the two games, you do not have to be! Video Poker is actually quite similar online. The one difference is that online casinos usually let you switch how much you want to spend (between 25p to £5) without leaving your current game. At a regular casino, you have no choice but to leave, so this just goes to show staying home and playing at the online casinos has its advantages.

The typical video poker machine online uses a 52-card deck. This deck is shuffled after each hand is played. Every machine is different and payoff combinations are different. You can usually win for the following: Jacks or Better, 10s or Better, Deuces Wild, Jokers, Double Bonuses, or Super Jackpot.

Video Poker is not very hard to play at all. Its ease of use makes it a crowd pleaser anywhere it is played. The game is played with five cards and the highest combination you can get is going to help you win the game. Like most casino games you play, you need to start by depositing money into the machine. You can choose how much you want to deposit. The vast majority of casinos use multiple denominations from dollars to lira. Once you have selected your type of currency and the amount, (i.e. £5, £10, £20, £50, £100) then you need to select the machine you wish to play.

When you select a machine, you will be taken to a new screen, which will show how much money you have to bet (your credits) and you will have other options. One of these options is the bid button. This will allow you to place a bid before your hand is dealt. As you select an amount to bet, the money will be deducted from your credits. When you win a round, the money will be listed not only in the paid field but it will be added to your credits automatically. When betting, you can bet up to five coins of the same value (i.e. 5 – 25p). To bet your entire amount you should find a MAXIMUM BET button. However, this is not recommended for newer players.

Once you have bet you will be dealt five cards, just like in regular poker. With the click of your mouse, you can decide to:

Stay: Keep the cards you have

Fold: Quit the Round

Hold: Hold the cards you want and trade the other cards in to make a higher combination

You can meet many different combinations of cards. The goal is to get the highest combination you can to win the biggest amount of money. Video Poker differs from other kinds of poker because it does not have you playing against other players. You just need to make any combination to win. If you get a pair, flush, or straight then you automatically win. There is no competing with other hands, players, and dealers. Even you can win more money by playing bingo.

Once you have won (or not) then you will see how much you have been paid. It will be added to your credits and you have the option to change bets, start another hand immediately with the same bet amount as your last game, switch machines, or get a pay out. If you switch machines this is the only time you can do it. So, now is the time to move.

The right free online casino will ensure you receive some sort of payout for the game you play. However, the nice thing about online casinos and the true reason for playing is how much fun you will have.
