Video Poker Rules

Video Poker has become in a short period of time a very popular online casino game because it is relatively easy to play and requires little skill. Once you understand the basic principles of the game you can start playing right away.

You don't need to be a good poker player to master video poker. You just need to know the different hands strengths in order to play well.

The rules are simple; you make a bet and spin the reels. You will end up with 5 facing up cards. You can then decide how many of the 5 cards your were dealt you would like to keep and how many to discard for new cards.

Your objective is to reach the best 5 card poker hand you possibly can with the cards you were dealt. You need to make the right assessment of the possibility you have of getting more cards that will help your hand when deciding which cards to exchange.

As video poker is played as a slot machine you are not playing against a dealer or any other players so you do not need to worry about bluffing or assessing the cards anyone else has, that is because there are no other cards or players.

Your win is determined solely by your hand in accordance with the published hands pay table. Therefore it could not be simpler to play video poker.
