The
major differences between regular poker and
Video Poker is that you are playing against
a machine rather than real people, and your
goal is to achieve particular hands rather than
beat opponents hands (as there are no other
players).
To
begin play, determine the number of coins you
are going to play and insert your money. Once
you place your video poker bet you push the
deal button. After your five cards are dealt
you will decide which video poker cards that
you would like to keep by pushing the video
poker hold button associated with that card.
The objective is to finish the game with the
strongest hand possible. The payout at the end
of the game is dependent on the value of the
hand you are holding.
After
making your selections, double check to make
certain that every card you would like to keep
has the word hold either above or below it.
Because one you place the deal button every
card that you have chosen to discard (not hold)
will be replaced with another card from the
video poker deck.
Instead
of beating an opponent's hand as in normal poker
table play, you can win when you hold any of
the five-card combinations listed on that particular
video poker machines payout table. If your resulting
hand holds a winning video poker combination
you will be credited according
to the payout schedule.
