Online Video Poker

Most online casino games are primarily games of chance. The online fruit machines are a prime example of this type of game. But online video poker — like online pontoon — is primarily a game of strategy. If you don't mind exercising your brain cells a bit while you're having fun gambling online, video poker is the game for you.

You are dealt five cards at the beginning of every video poker game. The deal of the cards is, of course, solely a matter of luck. But what you do with your cards — which one you hold and which ones you trade in — is a question of video poker strategy.

Suppose, for example, you are dealt these video poker cards:

• 3 of diamonds
• 8 of diamonds
• 9 of diamonds
• Ace of diamonds
• Ace of hearts

Now, do you keep the four diamond cards and discard the heart, in hope of drawing a flush? Or do you keep the pair of aces, knowing that it's already a winner and could develop into something even better? It's not an easy question, and it requires giving some thought to the probabilities, the odds, and the potential payouts. But it's interesting questions like this that make video poker such an intriguing and exciting game.
