Play Live Video Poker

The goal of the Video Poker game is to achieve a hand that is listed in the payout table of the machine.

By clicking on BET ONE or BET MAX buttons, the player makes his bet (from 1 to 5 chips). After the bet is placed, the player should press the DEAL button. The computer deals the player five cards. He, in turn, should evaluate its value and decide (by marking the appropriate cards with cursor) which cards he wants to keep, keeping in mind the possibility of necessary cards appearance to strengthen his combination After making his choice, the player hits the DEAL button once again. The player's balance is then being debited with amount, equal to his initial bet value. Computer changes unmarked cards, evaluates the final combination and pays the winning combination off according to the payoff table, simultaneously marking this amount in the Payoff section. This concludes the play round. To quit playing and credit his balance, the player should press the QUIT button.

Hand Ranks

Flush Royal 5 cards of the same suit in order: T-J-Q-K-A (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). A Flush-Royal is the highest possible hand.

Five of a Kind This is four cards of the same rank and joker.

Straight Flush A straight flush is a straight set of any cards (5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9) that are all of the same suit. Another possible combination is
A-2-3-4-5 (an Ace is considered to be the card with the lowest value).

Four of a Kind This is simply four cards of the same rank (for example: 2-2-2-2; Q-Q-Q-Q).

Full House A full house is a three of a kind and a pair, such as 2-2-2-K-K. Ties are broken first by the three of a kind, then the pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J.

Flush  A flush is a hand where all of the cards have the same suit, such as 2-4-5-J-A, all of spades.

Straight A straight is 5 cards of any suit in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-10) or low (5-4-3-2-A).

Three of a Kind Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair (otherwise it would be a Full House). Again, highest three of a kind wins.

Pair One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties.

Ace-King This is the lowest possible hand to start the game with.

The payoffs could be seen directly within the game, in the payoff table.
