How To Play Video Poker

If you are familiar with slot machines, video poker is very similar in terms of betting and starting game play and is very straightforward and easy for the player. Most machines will display 5 cards to the player that are chosen at random after the player secures their wager. Wagers on video poker machines generally feature between 1 and 5 coins per game with 1 having the lowest payouts and 5 having the highest. It is best to play with max coins each game to ensure bigger payouts when you hit a great hand. Once the player has determined their wager level, they will hit a play button and 5 random cards will be dealt on the screen comprising the players hand. At this point, the player will decide which cards he/she would like to hold and which cards should be re-drawn to improve the hand on the screen. The player then hits draw and the cards that they did not select to hold are re-chosen by the computer and displayed to the player. If the player has hit a winning combination, the player will be paid out as seen below.
