Video poker is a casino game that pays out close to 100% of wagers. By following a basic strategy though, you can stretch out your play significantly.
Video Poker Strategy Basics
Video poker machines are programmed to pay-out close to 100% when players play at the expert level. Playing video poker is easy. Once you've placed your bet, one to five coins, you get your initial five cards dealt. From the five cards dealt you determine which, if any, you wish to retain. After selecting the cards you wish to keep, you draw to obtain your final hand. Once all your cards have been dealt the video poker machine will recognize the ranking of your final hand value and pay you accordingly.
