Video Poker

By: Mike Petryshyn


Video Poker is a game of draw poker, which a player is dealt 5 cards face up. Player's then decide which cards to keep or "hold" and which cards to discard. A player simply clicks each card they wish to hold. Player now clicks "Deal" button and new cards will be dealt where discarded (non-held) cards once appeared. A total 5 cards that you now have is your final hand. Your final hand determines whether you win or lose.

Single Hand Video Poker

Each 1-hand Video Poker game can be played with $.05, $.25, $.50, $1.00 or $5.00 and you may play from 1 to 5 coins per hand. Depending on coins played, the video poker game will highlight the payout column for there to be no confusion as to how much you are playing any particular game.

Multi-Hand Video Poker (3 or more hands)

Each Video Poker game that has 3 or more hands can be played with $.01, $.05, $.25, $.50 or $1.00 and you may play from 1 - 5 coins per hand. Players can choose from 3 hands, 10 hands, 52 hands or 100 hands. If you are playing a game that has 3 or more hands, you can click "Pay table" button to view payout table with proper column highlighted based on coins played.

Each hand played by a player, cards held by player's appear. Cards are drawn randomly filling spots. Once a card or cards have been discarded by a player, they cannot appear in any subsequent hands.
