Video poker offers some of the best odds in the casino, that is, if you know how to play right. Video poker is an excellent alternative to the slot machines, simply because by playing video poker you still have the chance for a big win, but you're also about five times more likely to actually get it.

The play is simple: You're dealt five cards, and you decide which ones to hold and which to throw away. The machine deals you replacements for your discards, and pays you if you have a traditional poker hand like two pair, straight, flush, etc. The amount you win per hand differs from machine to machine, and is shown on a paytable printed on the machine. Of course, the rarer the hand, the more you're paid.

The rules of video poker including the hierarchy of winning hands, are the same as for traditional poker. If you have no clue what that is, follow this poker rules link to get more information. In video poker however, you're playing against a computer instead of other humans. Just as with blackjack, video poker requires that you make your bet before the hand is dealt. Most video poker games are based on five-card draw. This is when five cards are worth keeping. The player then discards unwanted cards and is dealt cards to replace the ones that were discarded.

The most popular version of video poker is Jacks or Better. To win, you simply must have a pair of Jacks or better.
