At JackpotCity you can enjoy all that Video Poker has to offer, online.

If you have never played Video Poker online, the good news is that getting started at JackpotCity is really easy. Once you have signed up, you can start playing testing out the game in Demo Mode straight away.

If you know the basic rules of the game, playing online is really easy to get the hang of. The game begins with the player placing their bet by done by clicking on the bet one or bet max button.

Betting in Video Poker

In Video Poker, the more you bet, the higher the payouts for a winning hand. Once the player has placed their bet, five cards will be dealt from the deck. The aim of Video Poker is to create the highest poker hand possible using the cards you have been dealt.

Because you are playing directly against the computer, winning is based purely on the hand you are holding. With classic poker, players can out bet or bluff their opponents in order to win a hand, with Video Poker this is not possible.

Creating Card Combinations

When you play online Video Poker at JackpotCity the paytable at the top of the screen will display the payouts for the various poker hand combinations. In most online Video Poker games, the minimum paying hand is a pair of Jacks or better.

Once the initial 5 cards have been dealt, players can choose to keep or discard any of their 5 cards in their hand. To keep/hold a card, players simply click on the card they want to hold. Players can then click on the deal/draw button and the dealer will replace the discarded cards with new cards from the deck.

Minimum Paying Hands

Once the second set of cards have been dealt, the game will automatically determine whether the player has a winning hand and will pay out accordingly. In a game of Jacks or Better, the minimum paying hand is a pair of Jacks. This is followed by two pairs, three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a full house, four of a kind, a straight flush and a royal flush. The player is paid out according to the hand they are holding after the second set of cards has been dealt. If the player bets the maximum bet on the hand, the payouts are much larger.
