Video poker is a type of online casino game that combines the elements of regular poker with a slot machine. It can be found in both land-based and online casinos around the world. Players have the option to play against the house, or against other players.
In video poker, there are normally five cards dealt to the player, and these can be seen on the screen before the game starts. The player is then able to hold or discard up to five cards in order to make the best five card poker hand. After all the cards have been selected, the machine shuffles the deck and the results are calculated.
The most popular form of video poker is known as āJacks or Betterā, which means that a winning combination needs to include at least two Jacks. There are other variations which feature different rules, such as āDeuces Wildā, which requires at least three of a kind.
