Our Casino Checklist shows you what to
look for in a great casino
|
For as long as people
have gathered together to enjoy a
night of playing cards, there have
been people thinking of ways to make
the games more exciting or coming up
with new twists to the games. Jacks
or Better is the grandfather of most
of the card games with the object
being to either be dealt or acquire
through 'drawing' a pair of Jacks,
or better. In Video Poker, you've
got the same objective and you have
a wide variety of games to choose
from. Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, Aces
and Faces are but a few. Our guide
will show you not only the best
online casinos to play Video Poker,
but you'll learn some great tips and
some strategies for playing the best
possible game. |
Jacks or Better: This is
your basic, yet exciting game of
poker. The minimum hand for a
payout is Jacks or Better, as
the name implies. The best hand
you can get is the Royal Flush.
With Video Poker, you'll find
the odds or winning hands listed
in the paytable and the paytable
will show you what you will win
for each hand depending on the
coin denomination you've decided
on. If you bet one coin, the
payout is of course going to be
less than if you bet the max,
usually 5 coins. Coin
denominations usually start at
$0.25 but can start as little as
$0.05 and go up to $25.00 per
hand. There are some high roller
casinos that will allow more
than this though. The basic hand
structure is below and the
payout reflects a maximum bet.

Deuces Wild: Adds a bit
of flair to the game with the
addition of the wild cards. In
this case, the deuces are all
wild and substitute for any
card, that will make the highest
winning hand. This allows for
more winning hands to be made,
so the payouts are slightly
lower for the lesser hands, but
you get an additional payout for
getting Four Deuces. In this
game you also have the addition
of Five of a Kind. The highest
payout for this game is the
Royal Flush and the lowest hand
is Three of a Kind.

a Microgaming Casino Game
offering multiple hands of Video
Poker to be played at a time.
You can play up to 100 Hands at
a time with some games. Most of
the games listed are available
in some form of Power Poker.
Multi Hand Video Poker:
Is basically the same as the
Power Poker versions of Video
Poker, with some casinos
offering different amounts of
hands that can be played at a
time.
There are other types of Video
Poker that you'll come across in
online casinos, but these cover
the basics and give you a
paytable structure. You'll know
what to expect with each game
but keep in mind that not all
casinos offer the same payout
percentage, so check with the
casino you choose to see what
their payouts are.
