Play Online Video Poker at Bovada
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, youâre on a solo mission to create the best possible poker hand.
How to Play Online Video Poker
To play video poker online, start off by hitting âBet Oneâ for every coin you want to bet; a âBet Maxâ 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 âDealâ 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. Itâs completely up to you.
The cards that arenât kept are swapped for new ones, and the hand is checked for wins. If you do win, youâll get an opportunity to double your payout or lose it completely through the gameâs Double or Nothing round.
This optional round pits you against the Dealer in a game of who can get the higher card. The Dealerâs card will be shown face-up, and youâll choose between four randomly-dealt cards that are placed face down. If you pick a card thatâs higher than the Dealerâs, 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.
