Video Poker

Video Poker is a card game played on machines similar to slots all around the world. The object of video poker is to put together the best five-card poker hand from the cards you are dealt. Five cards are dealt, then you can hold anywhere from 1 to 5 of these cards and discard the rest.

The discarded cards are replaced by new cards from the deck. Depending on the card combination, you are awarded an amount of money according to the payout chart. These payout charts are listed according to which game you are playing. It could be jacks or better,tens or better,deuces wild or any other variation of video poker. In most games you must make at least 1 pair of tens to break even. If there is no combination, you lose your bet.

Video Poker has come a long way since the beginning of the computer chip. The cards are dealt according to an RNG or random number generator which is basically a computer program designed to deal the cards at random (makes sense huh) and is not based on any decision you make with your cards. So if you keep a 10Hearts and 4clubs or 2 aces it makes no difference and doesnt affect the draw at all.
