Unlike titles like Texas Hold\u2019em, however, there\u2019s no bluffing involved, as it\u2019s just you against the machine. Additionally, although the outcomes are, ultimately, down to chance, there is also an element of skill involved in knowing how to play your hands properly.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t employ a bit of video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/poker\/\">poker<\/a> strategy, though.

When you play video poker, you\u2019ll make your bet and then be dealt your initial hand. Five cards appear on the screen. You then have the option to hold some or all of the cards and press the button again. The cards showing after your second draw represent your final hand.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The game pays out for each of the hands listed above, based on a pay table shown on the machine. but nothing for a high card. In some games, the pair needs to be of a certain value as well. You get better returns based on how high the hand value is.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Because you have the option to hold some of the cards, you can employ a strategy to try to hit a paying hand. For instance, if you have four cards of the same suit you can try to hold them and hope for a flush to spin in. The same can be said for a straight.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Video Poker Strategy Can You Use?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The best video poker strategy to use is to always attempt to get a hand that pays out the highest. While it is tempting to go for the higher value hands like a royal flush, these are highly unlikely. Therefore, if you have the choice between holding a dealt straight, or drawing one card to complete a royal flush, it makes more sense to opt for the royal because it will pay so much more than a straight.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>You also need to be aware of the different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/guides\/video-poker\/how-to-play-video-poker\/\">rules of the games<\/a> you are playing. For example, Jacks or Better is a hugely popular video poker offering. In this game, the lowest paying hand is a pair of jacks, so any pair below that won\u2019t pay out. Still, if you land a low pair on the first draw you should always hold them to try to hit three of a kind or better.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Video Poker Strategy Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>To know what the best cards to hold are, you could try looking at video poker strategy charts that tell you how many cards to hold. Have a look at the chart below to get an idea about how many cards you should hold based on the initial deal.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":7454,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"1024\" class=\"wp-image-7454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/video-poker-strategy-chart-512x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Video Poker strategy chart.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/video-poker-strategy-chart-512x1024.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/video-poker-strategy-chart-150x300.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/video-poker-strategy-chart-768x1536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.casino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/video-poker-strategy-chart.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Look at the table below for some of the typical odds you\u2019ll encounter in a standard game of video poker.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Video Poker Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The odds of making hands are the same as you would find in a traditional game of stud poker, making it unlikely that you are going to see a Royal Flush in your hand, for example.
