Video Poker Machines

Many poker players and fans of traditional slot machines harbor a lingering distrust of video poker machines. Video poker in reality is one of the games with the best odds for the player. A person who takes the time to understand how video poker works has a real shot at affecting the outcome of the game.

Video poker machines are limited to dealing from a fifty-two card deck just like the table game. The game is not played against a dealer or other virtual players. Payouts are based on a table posted on the machine. The majority of video poker machines play a variant of five card draw poker.

Play to Win on Video Poker Machines

Learn to read the pay table. Look for a machine with an 8-5 or (at worst) a 7-5 payout. Sit down at an open video poker machine with a 9-6 pay table and stay glued to your seat; this is a so called "full pay" machine. Bone up on the basic hands and which ones are keepers and which ones are throw-aways. Be prepared to ride out a drought. You can wait a lot of hands for a winner even at a "full pay" video poker machine. Never bet more than you can comfortably lose.
