Video Poker
With its perfect mix of poker and slots, the video poker game can be a relaxing form of recreation or a challenging game of skill. It is a game that requires its players to play a hand of poker against the machine alone, in which there is only one round of replacing cards. It can be a great way to practice building poker hands and a just as great a way of practicing one’s poker skills. There are several popular video poker game varieties, including Jacks and Better, Mega Jacks, Aces and Faces, 2 Ways Royal, Deuces Wild, and Joker Poker.
Take the classic game of poker and combine it with modern slot machines – you get magical video poker. Entering the casino will improve your poker skills against the machine test in action-packed surroundings. The majority of players like poker video thanks to its simple game system that really only the basic combinations of poker demanded (Royal Flush, Four Deuces, Five, etc), this allows you to instantly realize what cards it is worth to keep and what can be decommissioned.
You get 5 cards face up on the deal and can choose to hold or discard any of them, then draw from the deck for your discards to make your best 5-card poker hand. With multi-hand versions, each hand in a game gets the same 5-card deal and hold cards, but then each hand will draw independently from its own deck, so you’ll have many chances to draw a winning hand.

Aces & Eights
Aces & Eights is a form of Jacks or Better with a bonus given to certain 4-of-a-Kind hands. For regular Jacks or Better, 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 coins per coin bet.

All-American Poker
All-American Poker is a variation of Jacks or Better where a 4x bonus is given to Straight Flush hands (200 coins per coin bet instead of the usual 50), and the payouts for a Full House, a Flush and a Straight are made equal. Because a Straight is easier to get than a Flush or Full House, a good strategy is to hold those cards most likely to make Straight or a Straight Flush.
Bonus Deuces
Bonus Deuces is a form of Deuces Wild with a bonus given to certain 5-of-a-Kind hands. Just as in Deuces Wild, all 2s are wildcards in Bonus Deuces and a hand with all four Deuces pays 200 coins per coin bet. For regular Deuces Wild, a 5-of-a-Kind hand pays 16 coins. But here there is a 4-coin bonus for hand rank 6 through King, so the payout is 20. For ranks 3 through 5, the payout doubles to 40, and with Aces, it doubles again to 80! Get all 4 Aces with a Deuce kicker and the payout leaps to 400 coins!
Bonus Flush
Bonus Flush is a form of Jacks or Better with a bonus given to hands where all five cards are of the same suit (a Flush hand). Normally, a flush hand pays 6 coins per coin bet, but here the payout is doubled to 12 coins.
Bonus Full House

Bonus Poker
Bonus Poker pays a bonus on certain Four-of-a-Kind hands. Normally, Four-of-a-Kind pays 25 per coin, but with Bonus Poker it pays 40 per coin on four 2s, four 3s and four 4s. Get four Aces, and the payout zooms to 200 per coin!
Bonus Poker Deluxe
Bonus Poker Deluxe is another form of Jacks or Better with a bonus given to 4-of-a-Kind hands. In regular Jacks or Better, 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin.

Crazy 8s
Crazy 8s is an exciting game of draw poker where you only need a pair of Jacks or Better to win, but if you get four 8s in a hand, you win a bonus of 200 per coin bet over a normal 4-of-a-Kind payout. Get four 8s and an Ace, and the bonus jumps to 350. That’s crazy!
Deuces & Joker Wild
Deuces & Joker Wild combines Deuces Wild with Joker Poker for more exciting Video Poker action. This game uses a 53-card deck with one Joker. The Joker and all four 2s (deuces) are wildcards, meaning they can act as any other card on the deck. You need a 3-of-a-Kind or better to win, but with five cards wild in rank and suit, it’s easier to draw winning combinations.
Deuces Wild
Deuces Wild is a fun game of draw poker where all 2’s (‘deuces’) are wildcards, meaning they can act as any other card in the deck. You need a 3-of-a-Kind or better to win, but Deuces are wild in both rank and suit to make it easier to draw a winning combination.
Double Bonus Poker
Double Bonus Poker is a form of Jacks or Better similar to Bonus Poker, but with a double bonus given to 4-of-a-Kind hands in Twos, Threes and Fours. In regular Jacks or Better, these 4-of-a-Kind hands pay 25 per coin, but where Bonus Poker pays 40, Double Bonus Poker pays 80!
Double-Double Aces & Faces
Double-Double Aces & Faces is another form of Jacks or Better with a double-double bonus given to certain 4-of-a-Kind hands. A regular 4-of-a-Kind hand (2-10) is doubled to 50 coins. Next a Jack, Queen or King 4-of-a-Kind with 2-10 kickers pays 80 and then gets doubled again to 160 if the kicker is another face card (J, Q, K or A). Four Aces with a 2-10 kicker also pays a double-bonus of 160, but when the kicker is a face card (J, Q or K), the payout balloons to a double-double bonus of 320!
Double Double Bonus

Get four Aces with a Two, Three or Four kicker, and the payout leaps to 400 per coin!
Double Joker Poker
Double Joker Poker uses a 54-card deck with two Jokers as wildcards, meaning they can serve as any other card in the deck. Winning hand ranks start at two pair.
Eights Wild
Eights Wild is similar to Deuces Wild, except that the 8s are wild rather than the 2s. As in Deuces Wild, you need a 3-of-a-Kind or better to win, but 8s are wild in both rank and suit to make it easier to draw a winning combination.
Five Aces
Five Aces uses a special 53-card deck that includes an extra Ace (with a suit of “star”). This extra Ace can help make Ace pairs, 3-of-a-Kind, 4-of-a-Kind and especially 5 Aces hands. It can also serve as an Ace to complete normal straights (either A-K-Q-J-10 or 5-4-3-2-A), but it won’t make Flush or Straight Flush hands since for those you still need five cards of the same suit. The top prize of 6000 coins can be worth as much as $150,000.00 on some Five Aces machines.
Jacks or Better
Jacks or Better is a classic game of draw poker where you only need a Pair of Jacks or better to win.
Joker Poker
Joker Poker uses a 53-card deck with one Joker as a wildcard, meaning it can serve as any other card in the deck. Winning hand ranks start at a pair of Aces.
Loose Deuces
Loose Deuces is just like Deuces Wild, where all the Deuces (2s) are wildcards and can serve as any other card in the deck. In standard Video Poker, a 4-of-a-Kind hand pays just 25 coins per coin bet, and with Deuces Wild the payout for four 2s is bumped to 200 coins. But with Loose Deuces, a hand with all four Deuces pays a whopping 500 coins per coin bet. So the payout on those Deuces is very loose indeed!
One-Eyed Jacks
One-Eyed Jacks are the Jack of Hearts and the Jack of Spades, so named because the face is in profile and only shows one eye. In this game these two cards are wild in both suit and rank, meaning they can serve as any other card to help make a winning combination. The Jack of Diamonds and the Jack of Clubs are not wild, they must play according to their rank and suit.
Super-Aces Bonus Poker
Super-Aces Bonus Poker is a form of Bonus Poker except that Four Aces hands in Super-Aces Bonus carry a substantial increase in payout. In Bonus Poker, Four Aces pay 200 per coin bet, but Super-Aces Bonus doubles that to an outstanding 400 coins per coin bet, or 16x more than 4-of-a-Kind hands in regular Video Poker! This is 150 coins higher than Royal Flush hands for 1 to 4 coins per hand bets. Royal Flush hands carry a bonus payout of 4,000 when a 5 coin bet is made.
Super-Double Bonus
Super-Double Bonus is a form of Jacks or Better similar to Double Bonus Poker, but with a bonus, double-bonus or super-bonus given to all 4-of-a-Kind hands.
