The Game of Video Poker

Video poker is one of the few casino games where the player has an advantage over the house. It is a casino game based on five-card draw poker with more skill than luck. The number of variations of video poker is constantly increasing. Video poker is one of the most popular casino games for one solid reason: the game is beatable.

Today, video poker is the most popular form of video gambling and new versions of video poker machines are being created every year. Combining elements of both poker and slots, video poker is one of the few games in the casino where you can actually find a positive expectation of winning. Unlike many other more "social" casino games, video poker is more of a solo game. A positive expectation game (as it's known) is hard to find, but video poker is the only online casino game that ever offers it.

We recommend these popular MicroGaming video poker games:



The strategy for video poker is different from that in live poker. In short, any change in a paytable will require a change in strategy for true optimum play. Assuming that you have found a "decent" Jacks or Better game, the next step is learning to play the proper strategy. You can buy strategy cards at most casinos or on the Internet. What changes your strategy is the game or variation of video poker you're playing, and the payback percentage of the individual machine you choose. There are many different types of video poker but the best payouts are usually offered by the "Jacks or Better" variety. Beginners who do not play with a strategy will be up against a higher house edge and will most likely lose. Correct strategy on some video poker games returns over 99% to the player while others return slightly more or less.

Video Poker is a great way to play poker in a non-intimidating setting. One of the biggest advantages of gambling with video poker is that every bit of statistical data about the game is known in advance. Out of all casino games, video poker is by far one of the best games to play. Video Poker is one of the few online casino games where players can become experts and beat the casinos at their own game.
