Introduction
Video Poker became progressively popular in casinos during the 1980s when people found out that the devices are less intimidating than playing table games. So today video poker entertains a prominent place on the gaming floors of many casinos!
Never played Video Poker before? Well, It is sort of like taking Poker and combining it with Slot Machines. With Video Poker, there is definitely skill involved which can make you a better player. Not only that, but it makes the game more fun and interesting to play. It’s also not a very complicated game to learn, so if you are a beginner, this is a great game to start with.
Basic Rules
How to play video poker? The rules are fairly simple to learn! First of all you have to know that there are a lot of variations of Video Poker. The most popular one is Jacks or Better which can be considered as the first video poker game. On Casino Masino you will find also American Poker, Joker Poker and Aces & Faces.
However, all varieties contain the same basic rules.
It is played from a standard pack of 52 cards. The game begins as soon a bet is placed on the machine. Afterwards, you will be given five cards, and you will have the opportunity to decide which cards to discard in exchange for new cards drawn from the same card deck in hopes to get a better hand.
Let’s look in detail at the specifics of all variations, the hand values and what is different between them.
Jacks or Better
The classic of all Video Poker varieties is definitely Jacks or Better! The object is to achieve the strongest possible hand similar to Poker. With Jacks or Better, you get an extra point for every pair of Jacks or higher you receive. You can also play up to 100 hands at a time, therefore the more hands you bet with, the greater your potential winnings will be.

Joker Poker
What makes this game different from other versions such as Jacks or Better, is that it includes an additional card. In this version, the additional card is the Wild Joker. This extra card turns the standard 52 deck of cards into 53. As a result, some of the rules to the game are slightly different when compared to other versions. One of the differences, for example, is that a pair of Kings is the lowest hand you are capable of winning with.
The advantage of having Wild Joker is that it can replace any of the other cards in order to create a better hand for you. In that case, this is the strongest card in the deck. By having the Wild Joker card in place, this will give you more chances of landing a stronger poker hand, and hopefully a winning hand.

Double Joker Poker
Instead of only one Joker, there are two Jokers in each deck of cards so it is played with a deck of 54 cards, instead of the regular 52 cards.
Thus it allows us to have more opportunities to create big hands and get some specialty combinations such as Joker royal flush (royal flush including a wild card) and five of a kind (any four of a kind along with a wild card).
Video poker is one of the most addictive casino card games… So start playing, start winning!
