Information On How to Play Video Poker:
(These are General Rules - Some Online Casinos May Differ)
Changing Bets: Video poker bets are determined by the value / denomination of the coin being played. The bottom of the video poker machine has a small digital CREDIT VALUE display that allows you to select 25¢, 50¢, $1, $2, and $5 coin denominations.
As you change the value of the coins being played, you'll notice that the number of credits adjusts itself accordingly. For example, $100 will provide the user with 400 25¢ credits (100 Ö 0.25 = 400). If you increase the coin value to $5, the number of credits drops to 20 (100 Ö 5 = 20). All payouts are made using the same valued coins as wagered.
Placing Bets The video poker screen displays 3 valuesr:
- Paid - The number of coins won from the last hand.
- Credits - The total number of coins remaining in your balance. This value will adjust according to the coin denomination setting of the video poker machine.
- Coins - The number of coins to be bet on the next hand.
To place your bet before dealing the cards, click the BET ONE button to bet one coin at a time. Each time you click the BET ONE button, you will notice that one coin is removed from the CREDITS value, and the COINS value increases by one. Also, you'll see the column corresponding to the number of coins you have bet turn red at the top of the screen. Video poker accepts a maximum of bet of 5 coins (balance permitting). If you have sufficient credits remaining, you can click the BET MAX button to quickly bet the maximum 5 coins and immediately start the deal.
Click the CASH OUT button if you wish to return any coins you have bet to your balance. This effectively takes the number of coins shown in the COINS display, and returns them to your total CREDITS.
Starting the Deal: If you click the BET MAX button, the maximum 5 coins are bet and the deal begins automatically. If you choose to bet one coin at a time using the BET ONE button you must manually start the deal by clicking the DEAL / DRAW button.
Once the cards have been dealt, you have the option to hold / keep any of, all of, or none of these 5 cards (see below).
Any card that is held will not be replaced when you draw replacement cards by clicking the DEAL / DRAW a second time. You should hold any cards you feel will contribute to the best hand possible. To hold a card, either click on the card itself, or click the HOLD button located just below the card you want to hold.
Once you are done selecting which card(s) to hold (if any at all), click the DEAL / DRAW button a second time to draw your replacement cards. Any card that was not held will be replaced by a new card. The game is now complete and the resulting hand determines your payout.
