New to Online Video Poker?

Any video poker machine available at online casinos bears a lot of resemblance to slots machines. Various types of video poker machines accept different coin denomination, including 5 cents, 25 cents, 1 dollar and even 5 dollars. The majority of online casino video poker games are predicated on 5-card draw poker rules. In 5-card draw poker, the player receives 5 cards and is allowed to replace any or all of them in order to obtain a better hand.

Instead of the cards he discards, the online casino player receives new cards which will determine the value of his hand (in other words, whether the player has won or lost). You start playing by choosing the denomination and number of coins you wish to bet with. Once the coins are inserted into the online casino video poker machine, press Deal´. This would result in the player being dealt 5 playing cards, which will be displayed on the screen. You decide which card you wish to keep by pressing on the Hold´ button associated with that particular card.

Cards that you have chosen to keep will have the word Hold appearing right beside them. Once you press the Deal´ button, every card that you didn´t choose to hold will be replaced with a new card. Each online casino video poker machine features a list of winning hands and the corresponding amount of money you win if you manage to get it, which is noted in the payout table. Once you have managed to collect a wining 5-card combination, you win!
