| 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.
