When most players think of casino machines, they immediately picture the bright lights of traditional slots.
+
However, Video Poker is a fundamentally different game that offers vastly superior odds to the player.
+
If you play with optimal strategy, certain Video Poker variants offer a house edge of almost zero.
+
Because the game uses a standard 52-card deck, the probabilities of hitting specific hands are completely transparent.
+
We will guide you through the basics of Video Poker strategy and show you how to beat the house edge.
+How to Play Video Poker: The Rules +
The basic premise of all Video Poker games is based on traditional five-card draw poker.
+
After reviewing your initial hand, you must decide which cards to hold and which to discard.
+
The machine then replaces your discarded cards with new ones drawn randomly from the remaining deck.
+
To win your bet back in standard games, you usually need at least a pair of Face Cards.
+
If you constantly throw away winning cards by mistake, the house edge will skyrocket against you.
+How to Spot a "Full Pay" Video Poker Machine +
Before you insert a single coin, you must look closely at the payout schedule displayed on the screen.
+
A 9/6 machine pays 9 coins for a Full House and 6 coins for a Flush on a one-coin bet.
+
Casinos often stealthily reduce these payouts to 8/5 or even 7/5 on machines that look exactly the same.
+
In online casinos, you can usually check the exact RTP (Return to Player) in the game's help files.
+
Another unbreakable rule of Video Poker is to always bet the maximum number of coins (usually 5).
+Exploring Different Video Poker Games +
Once you master the basics, you might want to explore the different flavors of Video Poker available.
+
In Deuces Wild, the two-cards are wild, making huge hands like Four of a Kind much more common.
+
A "Full Pay" Deuces Wild machine (often called 100.76%) actually gives the player a mathematical advantage over the house.
+
Double Bonus Poker offers massive rewards for hitting four Aces, but reduces the payout for two pair to compensate.
+
Regardless of which variant you choose, you must download and study the specific strategy chart for that exact game.
