Play like a Pro
- The most important thing to remember when playing Video Poker - complete
the game with the strongest hand as your payout is dependent on the value of
the hand you are holding.
- Most versions of our casino software allow you to use "Expert Mode"
to analyze the percentage chances of hitting a certain hand based on what
you choose to hold.
- If you're new to Video Poker, try mastering Jacks or Better first - its
strategy is the easiest to understand.
- Use the Double feature in Video Poker to double your winnings (up to a set
Doubling Limit decided upon by the individual Casinos). You get a choice of
four cards, and you need to choose one which must be higher than the exposed
card to double your money. This can be risky, but you can win big this way.
- In Video Poker, it's easier to draw an outside straight (*-6-7-8-9-*) than
an inside straight (6-7-*-9-10) because you can complete your hand by
increasing the chances of getting a card on either side of it.
- Keep any pair of cards rather than hang onto a high card. Novice players
tend to keep a high card in favor of a pair of twos - going for three of a
kind gives the player better odds.
- If you are dealt a Jack and your hand allows it, hold onto the Jack. A
common mistake is to hold onto a higher card but Jacks provide the most
opportunities for getting more lucrative hands.
- Never keep a kicker (a single high card [J,Q,K,A] that has the potential
to turn into a winning pair) with any pair or three of a kind. Holding the
kicker will reduce your return by 5%.
How to Play
In Video Poker, the odds involved greatly depend on the player's Poker skill.
The aim is simple - get dealt the best hand from five cards out of a 52-card
deck. However it's up to you to decide which cards will best complete your
winning hand.
Variations
In Video Poker the player is dealt a single hand of five cards, while in Power
Poker the player is dealt four hands of five cards each. The latest Power Poker
game recently launched by Microgaming is called Aces and Faces 10 Player Power
