Video poker gamesToday I’d like to tell you a few words about Video Poker games and their rules. Each online casino carries at least 10-15 Video Poker games to play, but some of them are variations of one and the same game, so you have to learn to play the basic game to be able to play other varieties of the game. In this and next posts I will describe the simplest Video Poker strategies. They guarantee a 100% return on a full-pay machine.

Let’s start with the list of the best Video Poker games you can play at any online casinos:
1. Aces and Faces
2. Deuced Wild
3. Joker Poker
4. Jacks and Better
5. Tens or Better
6. Double Joker

To proceed, let’s learn the most important Video Poker terms:

Royal flash is a sequence of Ace-king-queen-jack-10. All the cards must be of the same suit.
Straight Flush is five consecutive cards of the same suit.
Flush is any five cards of the same suit.
Straight is five consecutive cards of different suits.
Full house is three cards of one rank followed by 2 cards of another rank.
Three of a kind is three cards with the same rank.
2 Pair is 2 cards of one rank followed by 2 cards of another rank.

There are also other winning combinations and a lot of useful terms you have to know if you want to know how to play Video Poker online or at traditional casinos.

Some more useful terms for you:
A wild card – a card that can be any other card’s substitute.
Outside straight – a straight that you can fill by an appropriate card on either end.
Insight straight – as you understand, to fill the straight by adding a necessary card in the middle of the set.
Face cards are king, jack and queen in Video Poker games.
Drawing hand – the set of cards, in which one card is missing to win.

In my next post I’ll write how to play Deuces Wild and describe the most common Video Poker strategies.
