Video Poker Fact

Video poker became an alternative to gamblers in the 1970’s and quickly zoomed ahead in popularity as it offers a low house edge, good chances for profit for those willing to do a little homework, (and also the chance for large jackpots), and anonymity for those who don’t like dealing with other players and dealers.

At the typical video poker machine, you can play one to five coins and are dealt five original cards, all of which you can discard and ask for a second deal. There are many different types of video poker games, beyond that simple description, and each offers a special jackpot or bonus for particular hands. Of course all machines will make the biggest payout on a royal flush hand, which are aces through tens in the same suit.

Many serious professional gamblers will take up video poker as, depending on the hands, the particular rules, and the payout structure, there are certain advantages that are not offered in most other online casino games.

Beyond that, with the fierce competition in the online casino gambling industry the gambler has never had it so good as far as incentives, bonuses, and numeric advantages. Each online casino has to do whatever it can to attract business and draw in loyal video poker players.

All online casinos track the play of video poker players and the most loyal players will earn extra credits for more action, thus stretching out their bankroll and getting themselves more for their money.

Video poker is a great way for a gambler to "go pro" in the world of online casino gambling!
