One of the reasons video poker is so popular is because it is relatively simple to learn and to get started playing. If you can play poker, you can play video poker, and you don't even need to play poker well, as long as you know the strength of hands.Even if you don't know the strength of hands, you won't have a problem because they appear right on the machine. Here are the basics of video poker and a few variations you might want to try.

Video poker game similar to the Jack Vegas games you can find in restaurants around the country. Joker Wild is a classic video poker game where we added a joker to the game. The joker can be counted as any card, which increases your chances to win.

Unlike live poker, video poker is not played against other players. Your goal is not to create the best hand, but simply to have a hand strong enough to get paid with. A pay table will appear on the screen showing you how much each hand is worth. On a "Jacks or Better" machine, the minimum hand you need to get paid is a pair of jacks, for which you will receive even money. As you go up in hand strength, the payouts grow as well.

To play, input the number of coins you wish to play and press deal/draw, or simply press or click the "Play Max Coins" button. You will then be dealt five cards on the screen as in draw poker. You then use the buttons underneath each card to indicate whether you wish to hold or discard that card. Once you have selected which cards you wish to keep, press the deal/draw button again to receive replacement cards. If your new hand is stronger than a pair of tens, you receive credits according to the strength of your hand and the pay table. The video poker rules are basically the same for all variations.

Variations
The main video poker machine is the Jacks or Better machine, but there are other popular variations as well. Two of the more popular variations are "Deuces Wild" and "Joker Poker." In these variations, a two or joker in your hand can be used to make any card (the computer will determine what the best card will be). Although this makes it easier to make hands, the pay table is moved up accordingly, so you will need a stronger hand to get paid the same amount that you would get paid with a weaker hand on a Jacks or Better machine.

You may also want to try a progressive jackpot video poker machine. These machines offer a special large payout for making a royal flush. Every machine that is hooked into the progressive jackpot pays into the same pool, making for some tremendous prize funds. Of course, a royal flush is very difficult to hit and most players go their entire lives without ever hitting one, but if you do hit it, it can change your life. You must play the maximum amount of coins to be eligible for a progressive video poker jackpot.

How to Win at Video Poker Step 1: Find the Right Machine

While "Jacks or Better" video poker machines offer a minimal House edge and are the most common, they do not favor the player (unless the progressive jackpot is inordinately high). If you want to try to get an edge in video poker, you'll need to find a "Deuces Wild" machine, where a deuce can be any card.

How to Win at Video Poker Step 2: Find a Full Pay Machine

While a full pay Jacks or Better machine pays nine coins for a full house and six coins for a flush, the payouts for Deuces Wild machines are much lower because it is so much easier to make a hand. For deuces wild, you'll be looking to get paid nine coins for a straight flush and five for four of a kind.

How to Win at Video Poker Step 3: Play Perfect Strategy

To get the biggest edge, you have to play perfectly. You can find strategy tables online that will tell you exactly what to do in every situation. You should have the strategy guide open while you play online. Print out a copy and take it with you, as the strategy can get complicated at certain points.
