Video poker offers a poker simulation that can be played at a fraction of the cost of its table counterpart. Just like slot machines, each additional coin wagered increases the amount of the payout.

Object of the Game

In video poker there is no opponent, so the objective is to get the highest ranking hand possible.

How to Play

The video poker screen displays 3 values:

The video poker machine also has 4 buttons:

The Bets .  Select a denomination for the video poker machine (25¢, 50¢, $1, $2 or $5).  This will set the value of each coin played.  Next, deposit one to five coins into the machine -- use the Bet One button to bet one coin at a time, or use Bet Max button to bet the maximum coins allowed by the machine (balance permitting).  Finally, click on the Deal/Draw button to deal the initial hand.  Note that the Bet Max button will automatically cause the initial hand to be dealt.

The Cards .  Cards are ranked in order of their face value, with aces considered "high".  The ranking is from lowest to highest: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace.  Some games make use of Wild Cards (i.e.. a joker, or any deuce) that can be used as any other card (rank and suit) to improve the hand.

The Deal .  Five cards will be dealt to the player.  Since there is no opponent, the player must achieve the highest ranking hand possible.  The player must decide which of the 5 cards he or she wishes to keep (hold) or discard for new cards.  Once the decision has been made, the machine takes away the cards you didn't keep and replaces them with new cards.  The game is then complete and the resulting hand determines the payout.

Payouts

Clicking the EXIT button in upper-right corner of the casino lobby screen ends your on-line gaming session by disconnecting you from our casino server.  You will need to login again the next time you want to play on-line.  You should always EXIT from the casino when you will not be playing for any period of time, or when leaving your computer unattended in the presence of others.

Note that once you have placed a bet and started a game, the game's BACK button will become disabled, preventing you from returning to the casino lobby.  You will not be able to exit the game or the casino until the final result of all wagers in the current game have been determined.  If the game is abnormally terminated, both your balance and your current wager will be saved so that the game may be completed at a later time.

Changing Bets

Video poker bets are determined by the value/denomination of the coin being played.  The bottom of the video poker machine has a small digital COIN VALUE display that allows you to select 25¢, 50¢, $1, $2, and $5 coin denominations.  As you change the value of the coins being played, you'll notice that the number of credits adjusts itself accordingly.

For example, $100 will provide the user with 400 25¢ credits (100 ÷ 0.25 = 400).  If you increase the coin value to $5, the number of credits drops to 20 (100 ÷ 5 = 20).

All payouts are made using the same valued coins as wagered.

Placing Bets

The video poker screen displays 3 values:

To place your bet before dealing the cards, click the BET ONE button to bet one coin at a time.  Each time you click the BET ONE button, you will notice that one coin is removed from the CREDITS value, and the value increases by one.  Also, you'll see the column corresponding to the number of coins you have bet turn red at the top of the screen.  Video poker accepts a maximum of bet of 5 coins (balance permitting).  If you have sufficient credits remaining, you can click the BET MAX button to quickly bet the maximum 5 coins and immediately start the deal.

Click the CASH OUT button if you wish to return any coins you have bet to your balance.  This effectively takes the number of coins shown in the COINS display, and returns them to your total CREDITS .

Starting the Deal

If you click the BET MAX button, the maximum 5 coins are bet and the deal begins automatically.  If you choose to bet one coin at a time using the BET ONE button you must manually start the deal by clicking the DEAL/DRAW button.

Once the cards have been dealt, you have the option to hold/keep any of, all of, or none of these 5 cards (see below).

Any card that is held will not be replaced when you draw replacement cards by clicking the DEAL/DRAW a second time.  You should hold any cards you feel will contribute to the best hand possible.  To hold a card, either click on the card itself, or click the HOLD button located just below the card you want to hold.

Once you are done selecting which card(s) to hold (if any at all), click the DEAL/DRAW button a second time to draw your replacement cards.  Any card that was not held will be replaced by a new card.  The game is now complete and the resulting hand determines your payout.
