Video poker came about with automated gaming and is incredibly popular in the online casino game world; with good reason. Video poker games have a striking resemblance to slot machines, but unlike slots you have some control over the results. A video poker game will "deal" you five cards and you must make your best 5 card poker hand with them. In order to help you do this you are able to swap cards once, just as you might in a real draw poker game. The video poker machine will payout for created hands, with payouts increasing according to the ranking of the hand. There will be different games on offer within the video poker section of the site, and all of them will follow established poker game rules for example "Deuces Wild" or "Tens or Better".

The joy of video pokers is that they have the comfort of slots; they are played against the machine, require no special skill etc., but they do have some player participation. It is your choice of what to swap that determines a winning hand or not, and so one has the sense of being pitted against the machine which can be very exhilarating. Therefore video poker games have the comfort of slots combined with a little of the participation of poker.
