Video Poker Variations

Unlike many other more "social" casino games, video poker is more of a solo game. There are many varieties of online video poker games that the VegasUSA online casino offers, such as Jacks or Better, Aces & Faces, Deuces Wild and Double Joker. Even though there are a number of different kinds of games, they're all relatively similar in nature due to their simple rules. This brief article will deal with a few variations of online video poker.

Jacks Or Better

This game is usually considered the best game to begin with when studying video poker for the first time. The fundamental idea in this game is to have a pair of Jacks or higher and it's a relatively simple goal, particularly for amateur players. Something many players forget, however, is that only obtaining a pair of Jacks won't actually win you some money, except the precise money you put in the machine initially. So the real fun begins when you start getting higher ranking hands!

Deuces Wild

In this game, a conventional 52-card deck is used. All four two's (known as deuces) are then designated as wild cards. The minimum rank for a winning hand is three of a kind due to the bonus of the four deuce wild cards.

Aces & Faces

The goal of the game is to receive a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. Faces are Jacks, Queens or Kings. This game has no wild cards and the maximum payout is 4000 coins.

Tens Or Better

This game is extremely similar to Jacks Or Better, in that the only distinction is that in Jacks Or Better, the lowest hand to be given a payout is a set of Jacks whereas at Tens or better, the lowest hand is a pair of tens.
