<br>When most players think of casino machines, they immediately picture the bright lights of traditional slots.<br>
<br>However, Video Poker is a fundamentally different game that offers vastly superior odds to the player.<br>
<br>If you play with optimal strategy, certain Video Poker variants offer a house edge of almost zero.<br>
<br>Because the game uses a standard 52-card deck, the probabilities of hitting specific hands are completely transparent.<br>
<br>We will guide you through the basics of Video Poker strategy and show you how to beat the house edge.<br>
How to Play Video Poker: The Rules
<br>The basic premise of all Video Poker games is based on traditional five-card draw poker.<br>
<br>After reviewing your initial hand, you must decide which cards to hold and which to discard.<br>
<br>The machine then replaces your discarded cards with new ones drawn randomly from the remaining deck.<br>
<br>To win your bet back in standard games, you usually need at least a pair of Face Cards.<br>
<br>If you constantly throw away winning cards by mistake, the house edge will skyrocket against you.<br>
How to Spot a "Full Pay" Video Poker Machine
<br>Before you insert a single coin, you must look closely at the payout schedule displayed on the screen.<br>
<br>A 9/6 machine pays 9 coins for a Full House and 6 coins for a Flush on a one-coin bet.<br>
<br>Casinos often stealthily reduce these payouts to 8/5 or even 7/5 on machines that look exactly the same.<br>
<br>In online casinos, you can usually check the exact RTP (Return to Player) in the game's help files.<br>
<br>Another unbreakable rule of Video Poker is to always bet the maximum number of coins (usually 5).<br>
Exploring Different Video Poker Games
<br>Once you master the basics, you might want to explore the different flavors of Video Poker available.<br>
<br>In Deuces Wild, the two-cards are wild, making huge hands like Four of a Kind much more common.<br>
<br>A "Full Pay" Deuces Wild machine (often called 100.76%) actually gives the player a mathematical advantage over the house.<br>
<br>Double Bonus Poker offers massive rewards for hitting four Aces, but reduces the payout for two pair to compensate.<br>
<br>Regardless of which variant you choose, you must download and study the specific strategy chart for that exact game.<br>
Summary of Winning Tactics
Never play a short-pay machine. Demand the highest possible return.
Always bet the maximum 5 coins. It maximizes the Royal Flush payout.
Print a strategy chart and follow it perfectly without exception.
Do not break up a winning hand to chase a bigger payout.
Take your time. There is no dealer rushing you to make a decision.
