How to Play Video Poker

Get Your Cards
The machine deals you five cards. Review your hand carefully and identify potential winning combinations.

Video Poker Strategy Tips
Always Hold High Cards
Never break a made hand to chase a potential straight or flush. Hold all paying combinations (Jacks or better, two pair, etc.).
Royal Flush Priority
Always hold cards that give you a chance at a Royal Flush. Even a single card of the right suit is worth keeping with no other strong hand.
Play Max Coins
Playing 5 coins activates the bonus payout for Royal Flush (4000 vs 250 x 5 = 1250). This significantly improves your overall RTP.
Practice with Strategy Cards
Use video poker strategy charts as a guide. Optimal play can reduce the house edge to less than 0.5%.
