Video poker is an attractive alternative to the classic casino poker experience.Instead of sitting at a table with other gamblers and a dealer, you can stand in front of a screen and play at your own pace.Increase your chances of winning by learning about the various winning combinations and using the right strategy.
-
Choose a video poker machine. You can play on the internet or in your favorite bar.Find machines that pay well.For example, a Full House can pay from one to five credits.[1] You will find this information in the payout table, which you can view from the video poker main menu.
- Search for the best cars in your area.If you settle for one that pays little, you will lose your money faster.
-
Choose a game in the machine. There are many different types of poker to choose from when playing video poker.However, the most popular variation is known as "Jacks or Better".[2] It is a game suitable for beginners, because it pays well with low risk.
- If you can't find a "Jacks or Better" machine, look for a Game King one.Usually the latter give the opportunity to play "Jacks or Better".
-
Put some money in the machine. Insert coins, banknotes, credit cards or casino cards.The money will be transformed by the machine into credits, which you can use for your bets.Once you finish playing, the remaining credit will be returned to you together with your winnings.
-
Place bets. It is not necessary to bet all the money at once.Instead, press the button at the bottom of the screen to add money to your bet.To bet the maximum amount possible, press the "Max bet" button.The higher the bet, the greater the win.[3]
- Go all out when you have the chance.This way you will have a better chance of recovering your lost money.[4]
-
Press the "Deal" button to start playing. The machine will give you five cards.Click on the ones you want to keep and click again if you change your mind and want to deselect one.If you have no winning pairs or combinations, you can discard all cards.You can press "Deal" twice for each hand.
- By pressing "Deal" you will discard all the cards you did not select and receive new ones.If you're lucky, the new cards will form winning combinations with the old ones.
- Please note that if you have not activated the "Auto Hold" option, the machine will not automatically hold winning combinations for you.[5] Therefore, be sure to examine your hand carefully before pressing "Deal".
-
Collect your winnings. If you have a winning hand, "winner" will usually appear on the screen and the machine will award you a prize.The winnings will be shown in the appropriate section and will be added to the credits.When you're done playing, you can collect all your winnings.
- If you used coins, you will receive real money from the machine or a sheet of paper with the credits you won written on it.
- If you used a card for slot machines, you will receive credits on the card.

Use a strategy when playing video poker. There is a winning strategy for all types of poker.By following those directions, your chances of winning increase.The strategy for the most common variant, "Jacks or Better", is very simple and takes advantage of the many winning combinations at your disposal.[6]
- Different types of poker require different strategies.If you choose a game like "Deuces Wild" or "Joker Poker," learn specific tactics before playing.
-
Press "Deal" to start playing. If you are playing "Jacks or Better" you will receive five cards from a deck of 52 from the machine.Consider that in "Dueces Wild" and "Joker Poker" there are jokers in the deck[7] and this can reduce your chances of getting the cards you want.For this reason, almost everyone prefers to play "Jacks or Better".
-
Keep the pairs as they are assigned to you. If you don't have a great winning combination, choose the simplest ones:pairs, double pairs and three of a kind.These are the combinations that give the lowest prizes, but which occur most often.[8] You can find the prize paid by pairs and threes in the paytable.
- A pair indicates two cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.A low pair can often become a full house or a set if you don't discard it.[9]
- Likewise, the term three of a kind refers to three cards of the same rank, regardless of suit.This hand usually pays slightly more than a pair.
-
Increases the chances of receiving winning combinations. If you don't have a pair, keep all court cards in the same suit to have a better chance of getting a royal flush.If you have no court cards or pairs, discard the entire hand.On the second chance you might get a pair or a straight.[10]
- Know when to discard cards.Don't prefer figures to couples.Taking advantage of all the pairs you receive allows you to break even.

Keep an eye out for the simplest combinations. These include pairs, tic-tac-toe and poker.They are hands made up of cards of the same type.To get them, hold pairs and sets.The more matching cards you collect in your hand, the higher your win will be.
- Don't hold unpaired cards in the hope of receiving a pair after the exchange.The odds of getting the exact card you need are low.
-
Be careful of the stairs. A straight is made up of four cards in sequence, regardless of suit.You have the best chance of making that combination if you receive three cards in sequence in the first deal.However, only attempt to complete the bilateral ladders and not the interlocking ones.[11]
- One of the central cards is missing in the interlocking ladder.For example, if you have 3, 4, and 6, a five would complete a straight, but the odds of getting exactly 5 are low.
- In the bilateral straight, one of the outer cards is missing.For example, if you have a 4, 5, and 6, you can complete the straight with a 3 or a 7.
-
Try to get a color. This combination is made up of five cards of the same suit, regardless of the numerical value.You have the greatest chance of making a flush when you receive four cards of the same suit on the first deal.Keep them and hope to get a fifth card of the same suit.
-
Try to achieve a Full House. This combination is made up of three cards of the same value and two cards of the same value other than the first ones.If you have two pair in the first deal, keep those four cards and hope to make the full house.Likewise, if you get three of a kind on the first deal, keep it for a better chance of hitting a full house.
- For example, if you have three Jacks, hold them for a chance to get another pair and make a Full House.
-
Go for the straight flush. This combination is made up of five sequential cards of the same color.Scales composed only of figures (real scales) are excluded from this definition.If you have three or more cards of the same suit in sequence, keep them and try to make a straight flush.[12]
- It is easier to complete a two-sided ladder than an interlocking one.For example, if you have 3, 4, and 5 of hearts, you can roll a 2 or 6 of hearts.However, if you have 3, 4 and 6 of hearts, you MUST find the 5 of hearts.
-
Watch out for royal flushes. This combination is made up of ten, jack, queen, king and ace of the same suit and is the one that awards the highest prize.The odds of getting this hand are higher if you get three or more relevant cards in the first deal.[13]
- For example, if you are dealt a two of hearts, a three of diamonds and a ten, jack and king of hearts, keep the last three cards and try to make a royal flush.
