Fundamentals of Video Poker
Video Poker is played based on the same rules that you’d play your favorite game like Jacks or Better or Deuces Wild at home.

Each machine has a random number generator that insures that the cards are dealt in no discernible order, they are completely random. This simulates the effect of shuffling the cards.

I’ve looked around, and some casinos offer the standard 3-5 line Jacks or Better, but some of them offer as many as ten lines. It’s a little scary to have that much money riding on one draw, but then if you get a good hand to start with, it’s great to be playing ten hands at the same time. (more…)
