The payouts for certain types of hands when playing Video Poker at an online casino such as USA Online Casino are usually based on the probability of the player achieving the desired combination. The traditional winning hands of poker, such as the Royal Flush, a Full House and others are available at USA Online Casino when playing Video Poker, but the difference between playing Video Poker and traditional poker at USA Online Casino is that while you are playing Video Poker at an online casino you are not trying to beat other players - you are simply trying to pick and choose cards for yourself to hold or get rid of to try and get the desired payout.
Like any game at any casino, you have to start by placing your bet. Playing Video Poker at USA Online Casino is very similar to playing slot machines. The suits and cards are the same as if you were playing regular poker: clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts, jacks, queens, kings and aces. Also, like when playing regular poker you can hold certain cards once they are revealed to you, or you can choose to get rid of them and take the chance that the next cards you get will be either better or worse than the ones you got rid of.
Once you have chosen the cards you want to hold, take a breath and click the Deal button on the machine itself to see which cards replace the ones you wanted to get rid of. Depending on which Video Poker game you are playing at USA Online Casino, the payout will - if you have achieved a winning hand - vary according to the amount of your bet and the basic value of the hand itself.
As stated before, the winning card combinations for Video Poker at an online casino are no different from machines at a land-based casino or traditional poker:
-
Royal Flush
- Straight Flush
-
Four of a Kind
-
Full House
-
Two Pair
- Jacks or Better
What is important to remember is that the main difference between Video Poker and regular poker is that when you are playing the game at an online casino you are playing for yourself rather than against others.
