• Multiple Game Variations: Enjoy different Video Poker formats including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, and Bonus Deluxe, each with unique rules and payout structures.
• High Return to Player: Video Poker offers some of the best odds in the casino, with certain variations featuring RTP rates exceeding 99% when played with optimal strategy.
• Flexible Betting Options: Choose from multiple coin denominations and bet levels (1-5 coins) to suit your bankroll, with bonus payouts for maximum bets on Royal Flushes.
• Strategy-Based Gameplay: Unlike pure slots, Video Poker rewards skillful play. Learn optimal hold strategies to maximize your expected return and reduce the house edge.
• Instant Results: No waiting for other players - every hand is played at your pace with immediate card replacements and payouts.
• Auto-Hold Feature: Use the intelligent auto-hold function that suggests optimal cards to keep based on mathematical probability, perfect for learning strategy.
• Double or Nothing: Gamble your winnings in an optional bonus round where you guess the color or suit of a face-down card to potentially double or quadruple your payout.

Step 1: Place Your Bet
Select your coin denomination and choose how many coins to wager (1-5). Betting 5 coins (max bet) activates the highest payout for a Royal Flush, so this is typically recommended for optimal value.

Step 2: Receive Your Cards
Click "Deal" to receive five face-up cards. Analyze your hand and the paytable to determine which cards offer the best potential for a winning combination.

Step 3: Choose Cards to Hold
Click on the cards you want to keep. Held cards will be marked. You can hold anywhere from 0 to 5 cards. Use the strategy chart or auto-hold feature for guidance on optimal plays.

Step 4: Draw Replacement Cards
Click "Draw" to replace the cards you didn't hold. You'll receive new cards to complete your five-card hand.

Step 5: Collect Your Winnings
Your final hand is evaluated against the paytable. Winning hands (typically Jacks or Better or higher) pay according to the hand rank and your bet size. Royal Flushes offer the biggest prizes!

Step 6: Optional Double Up
After a win, you may choose to gamble your winnings in a bonus round. Guess the correct color (red/black) to double your winnings, or guess the correct suit to quadruple. You can usually double multiple times up to a limit.

• Royal Flush: A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit - The highest paying hand
• Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit
• Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank
• Full House: Three of a kind plus a pair
• Flush: Five cards of the same suit, not consecutive
• Straight: Five consecutive cards of different suits
• Three of a Kind: Three cards of the same rank
• Two Pair: Two different pairs
• Jacks or Better: A pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings, or Aces
• All other hands: No payout (varies by game variation)

1. Always Bet Max Coins: The Royal Flush payout jumps from 250x to 800x when betting 5 coins instead of 4. This is the most important rule for optimal Video Poker play.

2. Learn Basic Strategy: Each Video Poker variation has an optimal strategy. Memorize which cards to hold in common situations - for example, always hold a low pair over three high cards.

3. Use Strategy Cards: Keep a strategy chart handy until you've memorized the optimal plays. These charts show exactly which cards to hold for every possible hand.

4. Understand Paytables: Not all Video Poker machines are equal. Look for "9/6" Jacks or Better (9x for Full House, 6x for Flush) which offers 99.54% RTP with perfect play.

5. Avoid Common Mistakes: Never break a paying pair unless you have four to a Royal Flush or Straight Flush. Don't hold three cards to a Straight or Flush unless they're consecutive and suited.

6. Manage Your Bankroll: Even with optimal strategy, Video Poker has variance. Start with lower denominations and increase as your comfort and bankroll grow. Set loss limits and stick to them.

Jacks or Better: The most common variation. Requires at least a pair of Jacks to win. Features the classic 9/6 paytable with 99.54% RTP.

Deuces Wild: All 2s act as wild cards, substituting for any card. This changes the strategy significantly and offers a potential 100.76% RTP with perfect play.

Bonus Poker: Offers enhanced payouts for four of a kind, especially Aces. Lower straight/flush payouts compensate for the bonus hands.

Double Bonus Poker: Provides even higher bonuses for four Aces and four 2s, 3s, or 4s, but reduces payouts on other hands.

Joker Poker: Adds a Joker card to the deck acting as a wild. Requires Kings or Aces to win on the base hand.

All American: Similar to Jacks or Better but with increased payouts for straights, flushes, and straight flushes, making it very popular among skilled players.
