Video Poker Rules
The entity of the game is to attain a winning poker hand. This more
often than not includes a royal flush, straight flush, four of a kind,
full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pairs, or a pair of
jacks or better. In some differences such as "deuces wild,"
there is no payback for a pair of any kind. View the paytable of the
game you are playing for details.
At the start of a hand, you will be dealt 5 cards when you signal the
machine to deal. Normally, you will press a hold button underneath the
cards you wish to keep. When you signal the machine to draw, those cards
you did not hold will be replaced by new cards. The video poker machine
will then calculate the best hand from your five cards and pay you according
to the paytable of the game.
Rules vary slightly accoring to the variation you are playing. Viewing
the paytable of any particular game will tell you just about everything
you need to know.
