Video Poker is the fight club of the casino world. The popular table game has had some real estate in the casino world as far back as the 1970’s.

Getting Started

Place your wager and dive right in, all you need to do is hit the “deal” button to get the ball rolling. In draw poker you receive five cards. If you see nothing that takes your fancy, you’ll have the chance to get rid of as many cards as you like and swap them out. As a player you’ll need jacks or better to score a nice cash reward. The top hand, a Royal Flush can offer up to 800 times your original wager.
