About Video Poker
Play begins in Video Poker with the
dealer giving you five cards. You then
have one chance to replace as many
cards as you feel necessary.
Winning and losing in Video Poker, un-
like most other forms of poker, is not
based on comparing the value of your
hand against another hand. Instead, you
are rewarded for the value of your hand.
The better the hand, the more you are
awarded.
Your award is multiplied by the dollar
amount that you bet. For example, if you
bet $5 on a hand that pays 5 to 1 the
award would be $25. If you bet $5 on a
hand that pays 1 to 1, you would then
win back your original wager of $5.
The following sections explain winning
hands and their value.
Jacks or Better (Pays 1 to 1): One
pair of jacks, queens, kings, or aces.
Two Pair (Pays 2 to 1): Two pairs of
equal value cards, such as two 5's and
two 9's.
Three-of-a-Kind (Pays 3 to 1): Any
three cards of equal value.
Straight (Pays 5 to 1): Any five cards
of consecutive value. Aces may be
placed either before a 2 or after a king.
Flush (Pays 6 to 1): Any five cards of
the same suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs,
or spades).
Full House (Pays 9 to 1): One pair and
one three-of-a-kind, such as three kings
and two 5’s.
Four-of-a-Kind (Pays 25 to 1): Any
four cards of equal value.
Straight Flush (Pays 50 to 1): Any
five cards that are of consecutive value
and all of the same suit.
Royal Flush (Pays 250 to 1 or 800 to
1 for $5): A 10, jack, queen, king, and
ace all of the same suit.
