Video Poker Thrills at JackpotCity
Video Poker was created in the late 1970s, and has grown to be considered one of the ultimate casino card games. The variations that Microgaming produces are, of course, especially impressive and will ensure that your online Video Poker experiences at JackpotCity are the best in the world.
A Blend of Different Game Elements
Video Poker brings the instant action of pokies games together with the cerebral challenges of table Poker games. The action in online Video Poker is a lot simpler than in table Poker, but the same hand rankings are used so players need to think about the cards in the same way. This makes Video Poker a great training ground for those interested in Poker, as well as a thrilling game in its own right.
Video Poker Gameplay Essentials
Much like pokies, the basics of all Roulette games are the same, so you can learn them here before you explore all the different variations with us. The objective is always to bet on where a ball, which is dropped on a spinning wheel, will land when the wheel comes to rest.
The bright and simple old-school video game-like graphics of Video Poker come to life beautifully with Microgaming’s variations. The objective is always to build the best 5-card hand possible, according to standard Poker rankings.
To start, you place a bet of up to 5 coins, and are then dealt 5 cards from a single deck. This is the chance-based part of the game; there’s nothing you can do to influence the cards you’re dealt. As soon as you’ve seen them, though, the strategy aspect of the game kicks in.
You can discard as many or as few of your 5 original cards as you want, replacing them with other cards from the same deck. The catch is that you need to do all of this in one go; there are no turns as there often are in a conventional Poker game. You’re paid out according to what you originally bet, and what your final hand is.
There are strategy charts that tell you what to keep and what to exchange for every possible hand, in every variation of online Video Poker, and these are very helpful to beginning players. As you keep playing and developing your understanding, you’ll begin to make these decisions yourself.
