Online Video Poker

Online video poker seamlessly blends the classic 5-card draw with the captivating gameplay that has sustained the enduring popularity of online slots. We detail our best tips and strategies to help you understand this popular game!

Video poker is an online game that combines elements of traditional poker with the convenience of electronic gaming. When you play video poker online, you’ll find that there are various versions with different rules and payouts – providing an engaging and strategic experience for anyone looking for a mix of skill and chance in their casino entertainment.

Each video poker game consists of two stages: the deal and the draw. The primary aim is to create the best possible poker hand from a set of five cards dealt to you, with the option to exchange some or all of your cards for new ones. Here’s what to do:
 

• Select your game to play.  


• Choose your bet amount and press the Deal button.


• Pick which cards to keep and which to discard.


• Press Draw to replace the discarded cards.


• Get a winning hand and collect your payout.

The smallest possible winning hand you can form when you play video poker online is usually a Pair of Jacks, followed by 3 of a Kind, 4 of a Kind, a Full House, Straight, a Flush, and a Straight Flush. The best possible winning hand is a Royal Flush, which in some new poker games can amount to a hefty jackpot.

If you want to play online video poker, it’s important to note that the game isn’t entirely based on luck. Here are a few tips and strategies that could enhance your chances:
 

• Know your chosen game: Video poker boasts a fair number of options, each with subtle rule differences – master the intricacies of the game you’ve picked to maximise your success.


• Know your paytables: When you play video poker online, no two hands are the same. Gain the edge by referring to the paytable, clearly displayed on the screen, for informed decision-making.


• Play maximum coin bets: If your bankroll permits, dive into the world of high limit video poker for a heightened gaming experience with potentially more frequent payouts and increased winnings.


• Manage your bankroll: Play responsibly, so never stake more than you can comfortably afford to lose and resist the temptation to chase wins or losses.


• Opt for low pairs over a single high card: The value of retaining a scoring hand outweighs the risk of discarding a low pair in pursuit of a potentially higher-scoring combination.


• Know when to break up a Flush or Straight: If there's a genuine chance of landing a Royal Flush, it's wise to break up the existing Straight or Flush and go for the grand prize.


• Choose 3-card variants: For a simpler experience, try the 3-card games – place your bet, click play, and get dealt 3 cards.
