Video Poker

Video Poker continues to explode in popularity with the online casino gaming community as online betting websites are adding additional video poker games with more features to appeal to the demand for action.

Many newer video poker games feature theme based games along with different jackpot formulas to add spice and variety to the mix for players. Then there are the more traditional games that still draw a considerable amount of business such as jacks or better, jokers wild, and deuces wild. There is now something for everyone when it comes to video poker.

Jacks or better is still the most popular form of video poker and the big reason is the progressive payouts that are offered, which are the best of any video poker game offering that is available.

Some gamblers like to say that video poker is a two for one game in that it combines poker with a slot machine. In one sense that is true as the machines are set for mathematical probabilities based on different hands ranging all the way from the ultimate score, the Royal Flush, and on down the line to the worst hands.

Due to the many new variations of video poker and the different payouts based on the fierce competition between online casino gambling websites it is important to take the time to read and study the payout structure of any video poker game as well as the house rules. Even if a game looks familiar that does not mean it will have identical rules to a similar machine, even at the same online casino.

Be sure and look first for progressive video poker games as they will payout the biggest jackpots available as they are networked with other machines and online casinos.
