If you have ever played draw poker, you will already be well on your way to understanding the inner workings on how to play online video poker. The standard hand rankings mostly remain the same, which includes a Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four-of-a-Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight Flush, Three-of-a-Kind, Two Pair and One Pair.
Unlike draw poker, the game is played man-against-machine, with no dealer. An RNG (random number generator) shuffles and deals random cards. To get started, you have to click on the ‘deal’ button after which 5 cards will appear onscreen. You can then opt to exchange one or more of the cards, with the aim to construct a winning hand, after which you can click on the deal again to receive new cards in their place. Based on the second round of cards you are dealt, your winnings will be calculated.
Online video poker is really a simple game to play. The paytable always features onscreen so you will see exactly which hands pay out most. The only real strategy you can implement is to try and construct hands according to the paytable.
