Video poker is a poker game played in a machine, which looks like a regular slot machine. Instead of the lever and the little roulettes, the video poker consists of a screen and several buttons very similar to video game machines in most arcades.

To play video poker, first, you must drop your bet in the slot and choose how many times the amount of your wager you are betting. Then, you hit the "Play" button. With this, five cards will instantly appear on the screen of your video poker machine. These cards form your hand. A winning combination will result to a certain amount added to your credits.

The cards forming your hand can be discarded if you are not satisfied with it for one draw. To do this, you must press the button in your video poker machine that corresponds with the cards in your screen you wish to keep.

Then you simply press the "deal" button also found on your video poker machine. Automatically, the cards chosen to be discarded will be replaced. Once you hit a winning combination, you win and can do the same process again until such time that you want to collect your winnings by pressing the "collect button".

The bets in video poker are straightforward. You can choose from fixed amounts that can be wagered up to five times. You could also choose the video poker machine with the payout schedule that will best suit your needs.

Sounds pretty easy right? With video poker, you'll never be bored in a game of poker. It's so much fun and an exciting game. Video poker is a great way to spend your visit in the casino.
