Video Poker

Online Video Poker Overview

When casino slots and poker combine, you get video poker. This online casino game has the format of slots and the gameplay of poker. With no players or dealer to contend with, you’re on a solo mission to create the best possible poker hand.

Video poker is a form of draw poker that’s played on digital screens. The goal is to get at least the minimum hand required for a payout; however, the minimum hand varies game to game, so be sure to check it out on the paytable. Regardless of which version you play, you start with a five-card hand, and get an opportunity to improve that hand by swapping cards for new ones.

How to Play Online Video Poker

To play video poker online, start off by hitting “Bet One” for every coin you want to bet; a “Bet Max” button is available for betting five coins per round. The payouts that coincide with the number of coins you bet will be highlighted on the paytable.

Hit “Deal” to get five cards face-up. Out of those five, you select the cards that you want to hold on to. You can hold on to all the cards, no cards, or any number of them. It’s completely up to you.

The cards that aren’t kept are swapped for new ones, and the hand is checked for wins. If you do win, you’ll get an opportunity to double your payout or lose it completely through the game’s Double or Nothing round.

This optional round pits you against the Dealer in a game of who can get the higher card. The Dealer’s card will be shown face-up, and you’ll choose between four randomly-dealt cards that are placed face down. If you pick a card that’s higher than the Dealer’s, you win and your payout is doubled. You can proceed to another round of Double or Nothing if you want, or take the money and return to your online video poker session.
