Rules to Play Video Poker Game

Following are the rules to play standard video poker:

1. Most video poker casino games are played with a standard 52-card deck 2. After making a wager and press the "deal" button the game will randomly give the player

five cards from the deck. 3. The player chooses which cards to throw away and which ones to keep. 4. The game replaces the discarded cards with randomly chosen cards from the remaining

deck. 5. The player is paid according to the poker value of his hand and the posted pay table.

Tips to play Video Poker Game:

• Always remember that not even a single high card is more valuable than a low pair.

• Here are some hands you should always hold: royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind,

full house, three of a kind, and two pair.

• When you are holding a three of a kind, you should always discard your other two cards

for a chance at a four of a kind or a full house. Many players holding two pair will always

discard the useless fifth card because it gives them a shot at a full house as well.

• Sometimes, you can choose to break up a flush or a straight. Though royal flushes are

very rare, you can go for them as they pay off well enough to ignore the flush or straight

winnings.

• On most of the machines, a pair of jacks or better is a winning hand, but you should break

up jacks or better pair if you are close enough to a royal flush or other straight flush.

• No need to draw to a four-card inside straight in video poker. When the card is missing

from your straight, you should start playing against optimal strategy.
