Video Poker - The Combined Thrill Of Playing Slot Machines With The Skill Of Poker

By Paul Stuart


Video poker is rapidly becoming the game of choice for many thrill seekers looking to beat the odds. The instant rewards that it offers keep people hooked for hours. The game combines the ease of slot machines with the skill of poker. Think of it as a modernized poker game. It may incorporate technology but the rules of the game remain the same.

The game is the ultimate battle of man vs. machine. The player goes up against the terminal instead of other people. The rules and the goals of the game don't change.

Video poker is an easy and fun game to play. It is enjoyed by people of all ages. Increasingly, the number of video poker games in casinos has grown along with its popularity. There are also a wide number of varieties of the game.

There are some multiple game casinos that even offer different poker games on the same machine. More than five players can enjoy a game on one of these machines at the same time. The massive growth of video poker has given players many choices.

There are some people who would rather play against the machines than a real person. This has made video poker very popular since some people feel the machine is more predictable than another player.

Video poker is a little different than other slot games. To win, the player needs to hit the other high-paying hand to cash out. The player is assured a 95 to 100% return of the money played in most games.

That of course, does leave a 5% percent chance of losing your money if you play video poker. This can be significant because most people don't play just one hand.

However, when you gamble the risk is part of the thrill and you can't always expect to win. To enjoy video poker it helps to understand the rules of the traditional game and form your own strategies.
