When most players think of casino machines, they immediately picture the bright lights of traditional slots.
+
However, Video Poker is a fundamentally different game that offers vastly superior odds to the player.
+
It is widely considered the best game in the casino for players who are willing to learn proper tactics.
+
Because the game uses a standard 52-card deck, the probabilities of hitting specific hands are completely transparent.
+
We will guide you through the basics of Video Poker strategy and show you how to beat the house edge.
+Understanding the Basics of Video Poker +
The gameplay is incredibly straightforward, utilizing the standard hand rankings of classic poker.
+
You can hold all five cards if you are dealt a winning hand, or discard all five if the hand is terrible.
+
Once you hit 'Draw', the cards you threw away are replaced, finalizing your final five-card hand.
+
The lowest winning hand in the most popular variant, Jacks or Better, is a pair of Jacks.
+
If you constantly throw away winning cards by mistake, the house edge will skyrocket against you.
+The Secret to Winning: Analyzing Paytables +
Before you insert a single coin, you must look closely at the payout schedule displayed on the screen.
+
The gold standard for Jacks or Better is the 9/6 paytable, which offers a 99.54% return with perfect play.
+
Playing an 8/5 machine instead of a 9/6 machine will cost you hundreds of dollars over the long term.
+
Never settle for a short-pay machine; always seek out the best possible paytables available in the casino.
+
Another unbreakable rule of Video Poker is to always bet the maximum number of coins (usually 5).
+Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and More +
Once you master the basics, you might want to explore the different flavors of Video Poker available.
+
In Deuces Wild, the two-cards are wild, making huge hands like Four of a Kind much more common.
+
If you can find a good Deuces Wild paytable and play perfectly, you will theoretically make a profit over time.
+
Another popular variant is Bonus Poker, which offers boosted payouts for specific Four of a Kind hands.
+
Using a Jacks or Better strategy on a Deuces Wild machine is a guaranteed way to lose your money quickly.
