Video Poker
/videopoker bet:<amount> deals you five cards with no dealer to beat. Keep the
cards you like, throw the rest back for fresh ones, and get paid if your final
five make a pair of Jacks or better.
How a round works
Section titled “How a round works”- You get five cards (a dealer flashes up while the deck shuffles).
- Tap any cards to Hold them. A HELD tag shows under each one.
- Press Draw. Every card you did not hold is replaced once.
- Your final five-card hand is paid on the table below.
Hold nothing to redraw all five, or hold all five to stand pat. This is the one table where your choices change the odds, so choosing well matters.
Payouts
Section titled “Payouts”Bet 1 unit, these are what you get back:
| Hand | Pays |
|---|---|
| Royal Flush | 800x |
| Straight Flush | 50x |
| Four of a Kind | 25x |
| Full House | 7x |
| Flush | 5x |
| Straight | 4x |
| Three of a Kind | 3x |
| Two Pair | 2x |
| Jacks or Better | 1x (your bet back) |
“Jacks or Better” means a pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings or Aces. A pair of tens or lower pays nothing. Play your holds well and you get around 96% back on average.
Double Up
Section titled “Double Up”Won something? You can gamble it before you bank it:
- Press Double Up and one hidden card is dealt to you and one to the dealer.
- A higher card doubles your winnings. A tie replays. A lower card loses the lot.
- Keep going up to five times, or Collect whenever you like.
Double Up is a straight coin flip with no house edge, it just adds swing. Collect early if you are ahead and happy.
Quick tips
Section titled “Quick tips”- Always hold a made hand, but break a flush to chase four cards to a Royal. The 800x is worth it.
- Hold low pairs over a single high card. A pair is a paying hand waiting to grow.
- Keep two suited high cards together, they can become a flush, straight or Royal.
- Go quiet and the hand stands pat after 45 seconds (it scores the cards as dealt), and any Double Up auto-collects. You never lose a win by walking away.
