Video Poker Rules
The rules for Video Poker are fairly straightforward
and your options and payouts for each poker hand vary depending
on the machine / Internet casino site your using. Regardless,
the goals are always the same -- make the best five card poker
hand you possibly can.
The game follows the format of five card
draw where you first start by placing your bet on the hand
BEFORE you're dealt cards. You'll subsequently be dealt five
cards. Next, you'll decide how many cards in your hand you
want to keep. Mark the cards that you wish to hold,
leaving the other cards to be discarded. Lastly, simply draw
more cards to replace the discards, if any.
You will be paid if you have a winning
hand.
There are many variations of Video Poker
including:
Jacks or Better - as
the name implies, only hands with a pair of Jack or greater
will pay out
Jokers Wild - typically, only hand with
two pairs or greater pay out
Deuces Wild - due to the number of wild
cards in the deck (four deuces), typically only three of
a kind or greater pays out
