A Guide to Winning Tips and Rules for Playing video poker

By Jennifer Delpy


Winning in video poker is more than just using the best strategies. it also requires a lot of common sense. The following tips and basic rules of the game would help you improve your winning odds. Also make sure that you know what the payouts are for all the different hands.

Begin by not giving away the cards that would help you in creating the big winning hands. The winning cards can come and go without you ever noticing it because you are engrossed in the thrill offered by this game. This happens to most players that they give away their winning hands and eventually lose the hand.

The second tip is to choose a high paying machine. Find a video poker machine that pays out 99.5% or more. The machine with the highest payout is the one that offers 6 coins for a Flush and 9 coins for Full House. If you choose a machine that pays 6 coins for Flush and 8 coins for Full House, it is giving you 5% less profit. Remember that Jacks, Queens and Kings are better compared to Aces. This is because these cards can help you get the combination that can end up with a Straight compared to getting an Ace.

Another tip for playing this casino game is to play the progressive machine only if it has a huge jackpot size. In addition, the progressive games are not worth playing unless your bankroll is also big. You must have fixed your gambling budget before starting the game. If you select a bonus game, check that the payout of the machine is minimum of 7 coins for a Flush and 10 coins for a Full House for 1 credit line.

When playing deuces wild video poker games, you would be discarding all the 5 cards around 1/5th of the time. You should choose a machine that pays 5 coins for a Four of a Kind and 9 coins for a Straight Flush. And, in case of jokers wild games, try to get a Straight Flush using a Wild Card if possible. This can give you better rate of return. Try to choose machines that would pay you 5 coins for a Flush and 7 coins for a Full House in the single credit line.

Another important thing to learn in the casino game of video poker is the regular payout for each of the hands. The Royal Straight Flush is the best hand in this game and it pays out 1 to 500, whereas a Pair is the lowest hand and it has a payout of 1 to 1. The second highest hand is Straight Flush that pays out 1 to 100 and the third highest is the Four of a kind that pays 1 to 40. The Full House pays 1 to 10 and then the Flush pays 1 to 7. the next lower hands are the Straight Hand, Three of a Kind and Two Pairs, with all of them paying 1 to 5, 1 to 3 and 1 to 2 respectively.
