Imparting Skills

Not only is Video Poker highly entertaining, not to mention rewarding, in its own right, but the game also has a distinct knack for preparing players to excel at Poker. It’s the perfect blend between luck and skill, a trait shared with traditional Poker. What’s more, the different versions of Video Poker correspond with the various versions of Poker; further enabling players to better prepare themselves to make a difference at the Poker table.

Jacks or Better and Aces and Faces are two of the must-tries!

Start Out with Jacks Or Better

Jacks or Better is the original version of the game and is especially popular as a result of the high odds in favour of the player. When played skilfully and over an extended period of time, the game has been known to return as much as 99.5% of all money wagered back to the player.

In general, players have a pretty good idea of how cards and combinations of cards rank in a Poker hand. This in itself, has created a huge demand for Video Poker games. Not only do the games further develop the skills of players, but players also feel more at ease playing Poker on a video screen than risking the humiliation whilst trying their newfound luck at a traditional Poker table. It’s all about having access to a digital space where learning and the making of mistakes happen in a completely anonymous environment.
