Video poker<\/strong><\/a> is a casino game with one of the lowest house edges. While the house always has the advantage, video poker manages to shift the course into the player\u2019s favour. With RTPs going as high as 98%, video poker variants remain popular to date. Let\u2019s learn some crucial video poker glossary.<\/p>\n Aces and Eights<\/strong><\/p>\n Similar to Jacks or Better<\/strong> (look below), Aces and Eights has the same basic rules. In this video poker variant, you get the highest payout with aces or eights. Additionally, sevens also pay out considerably.<\/p>\n Ace-High<\/strong><\/p>\n Ace-high is the situation where the gambler has no pairs or better card combos. Also, the player is only holding an ace.<\/p>\n Aces Full<\/strong><\/p>\n Aces full is a full house with three of a kind aces and another pair.<\/p>\n Action<\/strong><\/p>\n This is how much you bet on a particular machine\/game in one session.<\/p>\n All American<\/strong><\/p>\n A video poker variation with an RTP of 96% typically. All American<\/strong><\/a> is suitable for high rollers.<\/p>\n Boat<\/strong><\/p>\n Poker slang for a full house<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bonus Poker<\/strong><\/p>\n Bonus Poker<\/strong><\/a> is one of the highest-paying video pokers on the market. Coming with a house edge of below 1% (RTP 99.20%), Bonus Poker focuses on bonus payouts. You also want to keep your eye on those four of a kind.<\/p>\n Coins<\/strong><\/p>\n In video poker, each coin has a value or denomination. These go from 1 through 5. For example, if you play on a $2 machine, one coin is valued at $2, two of them are worth $4 and so on.<\/p>\n Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n Credits are your current balance. That\u2019s how much money you wagered.<\/p>\n Denomination<\/strong><\/p>\n Denomination is another term for a coin\u2019s value. In some cases, the denomination is fixed, while in others, you, as a player, can modify it.<\/p>\n Deuces Wild<\/strong><\/p>\n Arguably the most widespread variant, Deuces Wild is featured in many software providers\u2019<\/strong><\/a> portfolios. The trick in this variant is that the deuce is a wild. In simple English, it stands in for any other card. The goal? To create the best hand possible.<\/p>\n Double Bonus Poker<\/strong><\/p>\n In Double Bonus Poker<\/strong><\/a>, particular hands enjoy bonus payouts. Succeed in creating a four of a kind with aces, twos, or threes and you\u2019ll get the bonus cashout.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Double Double Bonus Poker<\/strong><\/p>\n If you get a specific kicker in this video poker variation, you will get paid double. In Double Double Bonus Poker, kickers will pay out double on four of a kind with aces, twos, threes and fours.<\/p>\n Draw<\/strong><\/p>\n Hitting the draw button activates the round. Drawing is the procedure of getting your cards dealt.<\/p>\n Face Card<\/strong><\/p>\n Jacks (J), Queens (Q) and Kings (K) are face cards. The three are also known as court cards.<\/p>\n Four of a Kind<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the best hands in the game, four of a kind features four cards identical in rank.<\/p>\n Full House<\/strong><\/p>\n A full house consists of three cards of a kind plus a pair. For example, if you\u2019re holding three aces and two kings, you have a full house.<\/p>\n Full Pay Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n A full pay machine is one with the highest payouts. For instance, in Jacks or Better, that would be a 9\/6 machine. To clarify, a full house pays 9 coins whilst a flush rewards 6 of them.<\/p>\n Hand<\/strong><\/p>\n A hand is the current combination of 5 cards that a player is holding. However, you can use the term \u201chand\u201d to denote the value of your card combination \u2013 e.g. full house, four of a kind, etc.<\/p>\n Hold<\/strong><\/p>\n After receiving your initial five cards, you can either keep them or draw new ones. The prominent \u201chold\u201d button allows you to pick the cards you\u2019d like to \u201creceive\u201d.<\/p>\n House Edge<\/strong><\/p>\n Every casino game<\/strong><\/a> comes with a house edge. The edge or advantage denotes the percentage that the casino keeps in the long run. The concept of a house edge allows for the casino<\/strong><\/a> to always win at the end of the day.<\/p>\n Inside Straight<\/strong><\/p>\n Having five cards in order in poker is referred to as a straight. To create an inside straight, you can use aces as either high or low. When you have four cards to a straight and the one in the middle is missing, that\u2019s called an inside straight. However, winning with this hand is unlikely and very risky.<\/p>\n Jacks or Better<\/strong><\/p>\n In iGaming, Jacks or Better is often synonymous with video poker. We recommend it to beginners as it\u2019s the simplest to learn and master. The pair of jacks is the first hand to be paid in this variation. From that point on, it grows up to a royal flush, which is the best payout hand in this video poker game.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nA<\/h2>\n
