Video Poker
Poker is one of the most played games in the world today, especially when it comes to gambling. But what if you fancy a game and your friends are all busy? Or you haven’t got a tuxedo to head to the local casino? Well, that’s where
Video Poker games come in.
Video Poker is an immensely popular staple of casinos and betting websites. Based on 5-card draw poker, the game could initially only be played on a computer console similar in appearance to a slot machine. Video poker shared its rise with the advent of the personal computer in the mid-1970s, when it was first introduced in casinos, and rapidly grew in popularity throughout the 70s and 80s, as gamblers found the machine format less intimidating than approaching a table with a real dealer and real competitors!
Online Video Poker
Once online gambling began to gain momentum with the spread of the internet in the 1990s, it wasn’t long before
Video Poker games made the jump to the world wide web. The game’s simplistic mechanics make it ideal for whiling away a bit of free time on your favorite betting site and the numerous variations on offer mean there’s never a chance to get bored! Some of the most common game variations are Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild, but there are many, many options when it comes to Video Poker games
Part of Video Poker’s draw (no pun intended) lies in its simplicity. However, this simplicity is only at the surface level, as there are almost unlimited strategies you can deploy to add layers of complexity and excitement to this thrilling new addition to the Bitlser collection. “But how do I play it?”, we hear you asking. Let us explain…
How to play Video Poker
To get started, you need to place your bet. Once you’ve done that, five cards will appear on the screen, face up, and it’s up to you to decide which cards stay, and which ones you want to ditch! You can choose to keep all the cards if you like what you see, discard one card that doesn’t look like it’s going to produce anything helpful, replace all the cards if you think they’re useless, or any number in between, to give yourself the best chance of ending up with a lucrative winning hand. Once you’re happy with your choices, the game will start and any cards you have chosen to discard will then be replaced. The new combination of cards is your hand and depending on its value, you could get rich in a single turn, based on the game’s paytable. For example, a humble
2 Pair will multiply your stake by
x2, while if you can put together a mighty
Straight Flush, you’ll see your investment skyrocket by
x60, and if you can land the elusive
Royal Flush, get a few bags ready, as this will multiply your stake by an immense
x850!
If you bag a tidy sum, but you’re feeling lucky and fancy taking home a mountain of cash, you can also choose to double your stake and take the excitement – and the potential prize – to the next level! This forms one aspect of the endless strategies employed by more experienced players. Other tactics involve discarding lower value cards right away, unless they look like they might lead to a straight or flush.
