Video Poker was introduced in the 1970s and is an increasingly popular
casino game.
A typical video poker machine holds a strong
resemblance to a slot machine, and it can be found in either
a tabletop or a free standing version.
These
machines accept denominations including nickels, quarters,
dollars and sometimes five dollars.
The majority of video
poker games are based on five-card draw poker.
In five-card
draw, players are dealt five cards and can throw away any
of them to try to improve their hand.
New cards are dealt
to replace the discarded ones, and the final five cards decide
your fate.
Instead
of beating an opponent's hand, a player wins when he holds
any of the five-card combinations listed in the hierarchy
of winning hands.
If the resulting hand holds a winning combination,
players will be credited according to the payout schedule
on the face of the machine.
As with poker, video poker hands
are valued based on their five-card ranking, with the Royal
Flush ranked the highest and a Pair being the lowest.
Video
poker varieties include Jacks or Better, Joker’s Wild,
Deuce’s Wild and King of the Decks.
So
go ahead and experience the thrills of this popular Las Vegas
style casino game.
