Conception of Video Poker

When you think of poker, or online poker, you think of a table of players with various different chip stacks and strategies. You think of bluffing, intimidation, and various other forms of trickery. You also think of the best hand not always winning because of this. Video poker has none of that, it call comes down to the best hand and the ability of the player to assess his hand and potential draw cards and management of his gambling bankroll. And that is what draws so many people to the video poker machines, the fact that they will not have to put up with anything other than the hard numbers and cards and odds of poker, without the tricks.

Video poker has quietly emerged as one of the biggest money makers for online casino gambling websites. Traditional brick and mortar casinos now have complete sections of their floors devoted to video poker because of its soaring popularity. Many online video poker players prefer the video poker machines over the tables because they don’t want to deal with other people, just as is the case with traditional brick and mortar casinos.

There are many intricate video poker strategies and they are all based on odds, hands, and draws without having to take into account the aforementioned bluffing, tricks, and other tactics. This is the draw of video poker.

Video poker offers something for everyone from machines that you can play for pennies per hand all the way up to machines made for "whales" that want to "bring the wood."
