Video Poker Games

Video poker is very much an individual casino game, similar to that of slots. As the game has been developed, so the number of video poker varieties. There are quite a few varieties of online video poker games that online casinos offer, such as Jacks or Better, Aces & Faces, Deuces Wild and Double Joker. Although there are more different types of game, they are all relatively similar in nature because of their simple rules. Here are some of the most common Video Poker games that can be found in casinos or online:

Jacks Or Better

This game is generally regarded as the best and most popular video poker game to start out with when learning how to play the game. The basic idea in this game is to get a pair of Jacks or higher and it is a fairly simple aim, especially for new players. Something many players forget, however, is that merely getting a pair of Jacks won’t really win you that much money. So the real fun starts when you start getting higher ranking hands.

Deuces Wild

In this video poker game, a standard 52-card deck is used. All four 2’s (referred to as deuces) are then classed as wild cards. The minimum rank for a winning hand is three of a kind because of the bonus of the four deuce wild cards when they come up.

Aces and Faces

The object of this video poker game is to get a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. Faces are Jacks, Queens or Kings. This game has no wild cards and usually has a maximum payout.

Tens or Better

This video poker game is very similar to Jacks Or Better, in that the only difference is that in Jacks Or Better, the lowest hand to receive a payout is a pair of Jacks whereas in Tens or Better, the lowest hand is a pair of tens.

There are several more popular video poker games, but these ones can generally be found in most popular casinos and online gaming sites.
