First things first, what is poker?

No point in starting in the middle – that gimmick only works in the movies! Poker is a table game played off a deck of 52 cards. While poker draws quite a crowd, it also appeals to a certain profile of player and this is mainly to do with the fact that instead of going up against the dealer or the house, which is the standard operating procedure for all casino games, poker pits players against other players, turning what would generally be considered a gamble into a game of skill and strategy. Poker comes in a variety of versions - online poker, video poker and live dealer poker - the latter two of which are available to enjoy this very moment here at All Slots Casino.

Playing online casino poker

Combined, poker games and titles account for a fair amount of options within a casino, especially when one factors in video poker, also known as poker slots online. The All Slots Casino range of poker includes numerous video poker titles as well as key live dealer poker variations. These two categories of poker couldn’t be more different but their foundations are largely the same. Playing online casino poker requires simply that you establish your All Slots Casino account after which you’ll be able to enter into all kinds of exciting poker games. 

With regards to video poker, things are geared more towards the private player who would rather go up against the machine. Expect playfully themed titles like Aces and Faces, Deuces Wild, Double Joker, Jacks or Better and many others.

When it comes to playing live online casino poker, the framework of the rules remains the same – you’re dealt a total of 5 cards and you need to eventually best the dealer’s hand. The one major difference between playing poker online and playing it at a physical establishment is that you’ll always be up against the dealer and not fellow players.

Poker Slots Online

Poker slots AKA video poker is a game that actually emerged way back in the 1970s and became a staple at casinos in the mid 1980s. Today it enjoys immense popularity due to its range and because it still operates on the basic principle of actual poker. The game’s popularity is further bolstered by the similarities it shares with online slots. The basic premise is as follows: you’re dealt 5 cards and given the choice to swop out any cards you don’t feel is going to help you clench that winning hand. After that you get to compare your hand against a list of winning hands listed on your screen, and that’s all there is to it.

Know your online poker casino hands

When you endeavour to enter into the world of poker online casino games, it’s imperative that you know what you’re doing. When it comes to video poker (poker slots online), All Slots Casino has all these games available in a free play mode, also known as a demo mode. This means that you can practice and become accustomed. However, if you’re going to enjoy the very real world of live dealer poker, it’s best you go in knowing what you’re doing – the last thing you want is to be taking a knife to a gunfight. The good news is that there aren’t many hands to acquaint yourself with.

First prize goes to what is known as a ‘Royal Flush’, a combination of 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace all from the same suit. There is no better hand than this. Coming in at second place is the ‘Straight Flush’, also 5 cards from the same suit. Next up is a ‘Four of a Kind’, which consists of 4 cards of a same rank plus any other. A ‘Full House’ consists of three cards of the same rank and two others and a ‘Flush’ is a total of 5 cards all from the same suit. The rest of the winning hands in descending order are: a Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair and a High Card.
