Video poker is one of the most popular casino games – both online and in real casinos. Unlike slot machines, video poker games, like Texas Holdem or Stud Poker, allow players to influence the game they chose to play. As with slot machines, randomness is involved. The very instant the “Bet Max Credits” or the “Deal / Draw” button is pressed the five cards to be dealt are determined based on a random process. Once the cards to be held are selected by the video poker player, the replacing cards determined by a random process at the instant the “Deal/Draw” button is pressed.

But that is where the similarity with random slot machine play ends. The video poker player has complete control over the initial five cards that have been dealt. It is his or her choice what to do with those five cards. The decisions about whether to keep all of them, discard all of them, or anything in between is completely up to the video poker player.

Players may choose to throw away their entire hand with the hope that they’re dealt a royal flush. Players may also choose to just hold on to their ace and throw away the four 3s and, again, hope for a royal flush. With this hand it should be very obvious that you would make the most money by saving the four 3s and collecting the winnings for a four of a kind. Which is why one of the biggest mistakes you could make in video poker is just to play completely randomly or guess. This tactic will probably only result in the loss of money in a game that actually gives you a shot at serious winning.

After all, one of the biggest appeals of video poker is that the games offer players one of the lowest house edges available. In fact, with the right game and the right strategy the player can actually have an edge!

In order to get that edge, players have to utilise an effective strategy appropriate to the type of video poker game they’re playing, whether it’s Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi/Low or Stud Poker.

To gain that edge the player must use the strategy that maximizes his or her return – and must play that strategy perfectly. To establish the right strategy, players should study each video poker game’s pay table combination. Usually, the less pay table combinations, the simpler the appropriate strategy will be. The simpler the strategy, the easier it is to perfect and play effectively. Beginners are therefore advised to start with games with less pay table combinations.

Remember, having the right skills and using the optimum video poker strategy will you give a far higher chance of winning, so always be sure to fully understand the type of video poker game you’re going to play and research the appropriate strategy.
