Video Poker Rhythm

Video poker has both its enthusiasts and detractors as it is a "house based" game that comes down to the player against the "house," (online casino), machine.

Proponents of online casino video poker say that a player can develop a rhythm when playing the machine. Further, some players enjoy the challenge of playing the machine. Many players also love poker but can do without people and prefer to play alone. Many other players simply enjoy the opportunity to "zone out" at an online casino video poker machine.

Detractors of online poker say that the entire point of poker is to play against human beings and learn their tendencies and bluffing abilities. To these gamblers playing poker against a machine and without human beings is like not playing poker at all.

Video poker, we believe, is a superb pastime and a nice break from the regular poker tables as it still requires skill and knowledge of the game. Many books have been written about video poker strategies and it’s a highly popular form of gambling.

In most video poker games the player is dealt five cards and can then discard as many or as little as he so chooses for a second deal from the deck. Final values do vary based on the different types of video poker machines along with the different online casino sites themselves.

You will notice as you visit different online casinos the various different values of poker hands in video poker with different online casino video poker machines having different emphasis on which hands are the most valuable as far as jackpot payoffs.
