Rules: How to Play Video Poker?

Video Poker is one of the simpler games that you can at Casino.com. Our software helps you along the way by suggesting various winning hands. It's useful to understand the rules, but our games will help you if you need assistance.

Playing a round of Video Poker online starts with you picking your coin level, using the + and – arrow buttons. Once you’re happy with the ‘bet per round’ level, you can click the ‘Deal’ button to see your cards. After this, you hold cards that you want to keep, where our software gives you a helping hand.

Winning combinations will be highlighted, and you can decide to follow those suggestions or choose for yourself. Next, you hit the ‘Deal’ button a second time to reveal any cards that you chose not to hold. Any winning hands will then be highlighted, and the winnings automatically paid into your Casino.com account.

Each of our Video Poker games includes a convenient ‘Help’ menu which holds all the important details relating to that specific Video Poker game. Our Help section further down the page will also give you some important information.

Odds and Payouts

The payouts of each Video Poker game will be given in detail within the help section, and you will find this in the easy-to-read payout table. The table is displayed with a list of poker hands, as well as the coin amount and payout total in coins next to each hand.

For example, the popular Jacks or Better Video Poker game offers a payout of 1-1 for one pair of jacks. This would lead you to receive one coin back when betting one coin, or five coins back when betting five coins. The payout ratios are all connected as you move up the poker hands and coin levels.

The payout for the top hand when betting on the maximum coin level is the one prize that breaks the trend, and betting maximum is the only way that you can claim that top premium payout – we always recommend that you play within your budget, though.

Basic Strategies and Tips

Video Poker is truly an international casino game, and playing here at the world’s number one international online casino is a wise choice. We provide you with the best games, the biggest bonuses tailored to your style, and we even dish out top playing hints as well. Read on for expert Video Poker playing strategies and tips.

Tip 1 – Manage your bankroll to extend your Video Poker sessions, because it goes without saying that you should be satisfied with your casino games first and foremost. Winning prizes should come second. So, we recommend that you work out your best playing levels and play more rounds of Video Poker to get more out of the experience.

Tip 2 – Learn the poker hands, so that you automatically know which hands to look out for. Our advanced software system will give you a guiding hand, but you can never put a price on gaming knowledge, especially if you decide to head out and play Video Poker at brick-and-mortar casinos one day.

Tip 3 – Advanced: Play the maximum coin value to ensure that you get the chance to win that premium payout for the Royal Flush. As we said earlier, the Royal Flush on the maximum coin value is where you find the best betting value. Of course, only play the top coin level if your budget allows.

Video Poker Bonuses and Promotions

Choosing to play Video Poker here at Casino.com is a smart choice because, as we mentioned earlier, not only do you get to play all the top Video Poker titles, but you get access to the best bonuses online too.
