Video Poker

There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and the number of chips on your table growing. Whether you are eager to feel the thrills of competition, try your luck or simply immerse yourself in a genuine casino atmosphere – video poker is definitely a perfect choice for you. And while the gameplay might get extremely intriguing, on the flip side, this classic table game rewards strategic thinking with incredibly huge winnings and tons of fun. No wonder poker never goes out of style, especially now that you have a chance to try it online with Highway Casino. Step inside and become a lucky high roller.

Video Poker Explained

Video poker is a unique combination of slots and classic poker. The interface of mini poker looks much like slots in design. However, unlike a pure chance game where players rely solely on luck, it instead invites you to add the element of skill to your gameplay and get rewarded for creating the best hand. Forget about stressful competition against other participants, human bankers, or online dealers – in a video poker game, you are the only one to decide your way.

What’s more important, your possibilities substantially increase as there are only 52 cards in the deck. The number of cards is limited in poker, so a number generator is more likely to select a specific card, making for a potential winning. It gives you a huge space for possibilities:

You get a 1:52 chance of drawing a specific card.
You get a 1:13 chance of drawing a card of a specific rank.
You get a 1:4 chance of drawing a card of a specific suit.

Step-by-Step Guide

To play real money video poker, you need to select the number of coins you want to wager. There are up to five coins you can bet within each poker variant. Remember: a higher betting amount increases your chances for greater returns. The payout for each denomination that matches the number of selected coins will be displayed in the paytable.

Once you step inside a mobile video poker game, tap the “Deal” button to reveal five cards. Take your time to calculate all possible combinations and choose the cards that may potentially increase your possibilities. At your own discretion, you can keep all cards or draw new ones.

After this is done, those cards that you have decided to swap will be changed for new ones, and you will be able to check if there is any poker combination. If you get a winning hand, you will be invited to participate in the Double or Nothing round, where you can double or lose your returns.

In this additional round, you will compete against the dealer for the higher card. The dealer’s card will be placed face-up, and you will be dealt four random cards face down, out of which you need to select the one that may make you a millionaire. If the value of the chosen card is higher than that of the dealer, your return will be doubled. Feel free to move on to another exciting round or collect your winnings.

Great Returns

Depending on the variation of online casino video poker, your payback may vary. For more detailed information, you can refer to the paytable before starting your game. To see your return for each denomination, you will need to select several coins you want to play with and find the respective combination value, as shown in the table below.

	1 Coin	2 Coin	3 Coin	4 Coin	5 Coin
Royal Flush	250	500	750	1000	4000
Straight Flush	50	100	150	200	250
Four Aces or Eights	80	160	240	320	400
Four Sevens	50	100	150	200	250
Four of a Kind	25	50	75	100	125
Full House	7	14	21	28	35
Flush	5	10	15	20	25
Straight	4	8	12	16	20

Two Pair	2	4	6	8	10
Jacks or Better	1	2	3	4	5

The table shows the payback for the number of coins a player wagers for each winning hand. As you can see, your payback multiplies as you raise your bet per hand. To calculate the total amount that you can receive, you can use the following formula:

Combination value x bet value = your total amount of payback

Popular Poker Variants

Once you decide to play video poker at Highway Casino, expect nothing less than diverse adventures that suit any gaming needs. More than fifty variations to choose from allow both novices and passionate gamers to experience diversity. Most of them share the best features of Jacks or Better, the popular classics, or Deuces Wild, offering better returns.

The most significant difference between various game types lies in disparities in the paytable, mentioned beforehand. Some variants reward you with greater returns for certain hands, such as if you get Four Sevens. Though this rank is lower than Tens or above, your payback, however, is much more attractive. Furthermore, some variants of video poker online feature Wild Cards, such as Twos or Jokers, allowing you to change them for other cards and increase your chances to win big.
