Video Poker |
Video Poker machines were first introduced in the casinos of Las Vegas and since then they have continued to remain as favorites among poker players all over the world. Video Poker is a simple game to play. You need to first draw five cards and then, play one hand or more. If you manage to draw a winning hand, you win the game.
However, before trying to understand the method of playing Video Poker, it is beneficial to learn the values of a standard poker hand.
These days, there are many types of Video Poker games available. Some variations introduce wild cards or jokers, while others consist of playing several games at once. Jacks or Better Video Poker is the most popular game. Here, a hand consisting of a Jacks or better pair is the winning hand.
