Video Poker Tips For

The best tip of all: know that you won’t be able to win at video poker every time you play, and that’s ok. If that bothers you, you should hone your strategy in free play mode before heading over to real money mode once you’re more confident. 

That’s up to you to decide (and see for yourself), but we’ve prepared a handy video poker strategy page to get you started with!

That’s really your call and depends on what you enjoy playing. We find that the game of Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild have the best return to player odds, so it might be a good idea to start there. 

Nope. The games are randomized and you’re playing against the computer, so there’s no chance to cheat the game or find a loophole!

You can, depending on the casino you’re playing at! Check out our list of recommended casinos, above, to find the one with the best casino bonuses (and video poker game) for you!

It’s 100% legal to play, as long as the state you’re residing in allows it. Otherwise, all of the games and sites we recommend have all passed strict industry regulations and testing.

We think it really depends on the player, but we’d also like to point out that slots are a game of pure luck, while video poker allows you to become better at playing, and influence your outcomes. That’s because video poker’s a game of both luck and skill.

The odds depend on each type of game, although we will say that you can only keep any wins you make when you’re playing in real money mode. The free play mode will let you win, but that money won’t be yours to keep (since you didn’t deposit anything into the game…we know, life’s unfair like that).

Easily: with the free play version of any game on offer. Most online casinos offer a huge range of free play video poker for you to try out! 

We like the simplest ones: practice beforehand, watch your bankroll, and always (always!) read the rules of the game before putting any money into it!
