Play Video Poker in an Online Casino

Even though online slots are one of the most popular game categories, JackpotCity is all about variety. There’s a lot to choose from. Enter video poker, a popular game online and in brick-and-mortar casinos that you can learn to play by following the guidelines in this helpful online casino guide.

First, we’ll discuss the significance of sound financial management, and then we’ll go through some fundamental guidelines. Before we go into some of our favorite video poker games, let’s take a look at some poker hands that we recommend memorizing.

Organize Your Funds

Effective money management is the key to enjoying video poker and other casino games. This is particularly important in video poker because it requires a thorough understanding of the various hands and their respective scores. We’ll get to these a little later.

You may be compelled to bet many times per round in offline poker, but this is also available in Microgaming video poker and Evolution lives dealer poker. As you can see, it’s already a little different from online slots, which only demand a single bet per spin.

Before you log in, we recommend setting aside a budget for your session.

Setting deposit limitations is a great method to stay on track with your budget. On login, JackpotCity Online Casino provides a variety of daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits and other responsible gambling features.

Locate your username icon on our mobile casino to set these up. This is where you’ll activate your account menu. If you’re using JackpotCity’s online casino on a PC, you may do the same thing by hovering your mouse pointer on your login.

When you get there, look for the Help option, then scroll down to the Responsible Gaming tab, which expands when you tap or click on it. Finally, use JackpotCity’s tools to set up the features you want.

Voila! You’re on your way to playing wisely and safely.

Learn the Fundamentals of the Game

Now that you know how crucial good bankroll management is, study some basic video poker rules. You can use these in online and mobile casinos – and, in many cases, even in offline poker games.

To begin, you must understand the game’s goal. Your goal in each round of video poker is to score the most points possible with the hand you’re given.

Video poker, which uses a 5-card draw mechanic and is controlled by RNG (random number generator) software, follows the rules of draw poker, even though it can be played with up to 8 persons in real life. You are pitted against the dealer in video poker.

Naturally, you must first log in and choose a video poker game to play. To begin the round, you must select your bet size, and you can accomplish this by changing the number of coins you want to bet and the size of the cash you want to bet.

The game begins as soon as you place your bet, or more precisely, push the deal button on your screen. You’ll be dealt five face-down cards that will automatically flip over to display your hand. You’ll then have the option of keeping (holding) one or more of your cards or receiving replacement cards.

You can hold a card by clicking or tapping on it, but you can also choose to replace all of the cards in your hand if you think you can do better.

Once you’ve decided, pressing the deal button will either deal you new cards or reveal whether you’ve won or lost the hand.

A gamble function is available in several video poker variations. The gamble option will activate if you win around. This allows you to predict the outcome of a card flip. Correctly guessing the card color (black or white) usually doubles your winnings. Thinking the card suit perfectly (hearts, spades, diamonds, or clubs) quadruples the prize.

Memorize the Most Important Poker Hands

To efficiently manage your money, it’s to your best advantage to memorize the many poker hands featured on video poker paytables. It’s also crucial to remember that not all video poker variations payout for the same hands.

Take a peek at the paytable to see which poker hands are available. While one game may only include indicators from the Straight Flush or Four of a Kind and lower, another may only include hands from the Royal Flush and upwards. The Full House and Flush, as well as the Straight and Three of a Kind, are some more medium-value poker cards you could encounter. You can also come across the bottom hands, known as Two Pair and Pair.

We advocate noting down which cards make up each hand. Listing them in detail would be a whole other topic for another day, but we highly recommend noting down which cards make up each hand. You may learn more about this by doing a fast Internet search or watching our videos! Then, as you play, keep the paper accessible as a reference.

If you’re utilizing our online casino rather than playing on your mobile device, another option is to open a different tab with the hands listed in it.
