Bonus amounts, minimum deposits and payout windows come from the operators’ Nigerian pages and change without notice — read the offer terms before you deposit. 18+ only, and betting is not a way to pay bills: how to stop when it stops being fun.
Pay table and winning hands
Each video poker game displays a list of winning hands on the machine's screen, typically starting at three of a kind. Unlike in live poker, having two of a kind as your best hand won't earn you any prizes. Gamblers need to know when to hold and when to exchange cards.
Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Double Bonus
The two most popular video poker variations are Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. In Deuces Wild, players can choose what the four "two point" cards (deuces) represent, making this version slightly easier for players. However, payout rates reflect this.
Another favoured version is Double Bonus Poker, where players unlock two bonuses, which are both four of a kinds.
Multihand games
Then there are the multihand games, where players can bet on up to 50 hands at once.
