Video Poker Rules
Video poker machines appeared in the best online casino halls in the 70′s of the 20th century and became more and more popular. Nowadays, video poker is the most favourite kind of slots and more modern ones are invented annually. The main goal of these games is still the same.

To gain a victory at video poker, a gambler should just obtain a winning hand. First, select the poker game. Define the sum of coins you are going to slot during the game; almost all video poker machines operate with coins. You are allowed to wager between 1 and 5 coins. The amount of the gain will be proportioned to the sum you stake. The machine shows the amount of credits you enter. Most experienced players advise to play the maximal amount of credits. The size of the gain is always proportioned to the wager.

Having selected your betting limit, the machine deals you 5 cards. You have an opportunity to save or get rid of definite cards. Saving the good cards and getting rid of the undesirable ones is the best tactics for video poker. Most machines display the hand rank but, in general, the order – from the highest to the lowest, is following; royal flush, five of a kind, straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, and, finally, one pair. This sequence may range a little depending on games.

First tip in the study of video poker strategy and tactics

For you to start easier I have to say you must learn the game “jack and better” first. Most of the other video poker games are only the modifications of the “Jack and better”. Though I can’t tell out all the strategies for different games now, I’ll later publish the best strategies for such games as “Jack and bigger”, “Wild deuces”, “Double bonus” and other video poker games. Look carefully after our updates!

I have to tell that the video poker is my favorite game in the Internet casino. Maybe, I am not patient till I’ll get my own first Royal Flush. This game is really much exciting of all in the online casino than any video slot game.

A lot of players, who start paying online games after slot machines, never return back. They enjoy the game and its strategy, which needs some skills. Don’t let the fear lead you away from the game. The game is easy to learn and you’ll get a great enjoyment while playing. Why don’t you try your strength playing the game “with interest”? Try a free online game flush video poker “Jacks and bigger”.

The most Video Poker games use the combinations which can be done of 52 cards of the standard deck. I say “most Video Poker games” because there are such games also as “Joker poker video poker” which uses one or two jokers additionally to 52-cards deck. There is also one very interesting and modern game which is named “Deuces wild” – video poker which uses 52 cards too and also deuces – which are similar to joker.

In general there are 2.598.960 combinations in the video poker which can made up of the deck consisting of the 52 cards.

In the machines of the video poker those combinations, so your failings and winnings are decided by the result of work of RGN.

Though the principle of RGN is in every automat, or they wouldn’t have got their name as the automats, would they?

Moreover, in the video poker game after you’ve got the needed combination you are proposed to double your winning – you can only take your lottery or try to double it. Because of that the new game begins, the rate in which is your previous winning. If you while choosing from the four closed cards will find the dealer’s card you’ve doubled your winning. Then you’ll be proposed to double the lottery again.

The “double game” in the video casino doesn’t have the same in the real game; your chances to win are 50:50. My personal record was making the double seven times, after that I decided not to test my destiny and take my winning. It had a place in the Internet casino Ladbrokers in 2006 year, when beginning with the 5 pounds I’ve won 640 pounds instead!! I was the lucky one!

During last years video poker become very popular and the bars and real casinos started to by more machines into the playing halls with the function of the video poker game. The first machines appeared in the end of 70s with the only game “Jacks and higher”. Nowadays there are more than 100 variants of video poker in the casinos.

This tendency came to the Internet casinos too. So today you can find a lot of different kinds of video poker in the on-line casinos. And you can choose from the usual one-line playing automats to video poker with the simultaneous playing to 100 playing hands.

In my opinion there is one the most serious reason why people don’t play table games a lot – it’s a fear factor because of not knowing the rules while playing around one table with other gamblers. Though most players play those games with conscious, however they are afraid to look like a silly novice in front of other players. That’s why the best variant to play for them is playing alone with the automat.

Simple rule of video poker slot

From that point of view playing aggregate is the most outstanding invention which let the players not feel themselves afraid forever. There is only one rule in playing slots – roll the drum and hope that you are the lucky one. In this article we’ll discuss unique playing slot – video poker. Though it’s the playing automat too, it’s rather different from all other aggregates. Here your winning depends not on your luckiness, but on your skills.

Video Poker is based on usual poker and has in fact the same rules. And the combinations are the same too, except the fact that you’re playing not with the live people. The monitor with five cards which are given by the dealer-automat to you is used in the video poker. In every distribution you can make a decision: leave or change one of the five given cards, or even change all cards.

You manage the buttons which are connected with your cards on the monitor. When you’ve made your decision, you press the button “distribute” and the cards are changed into new ones. The win or loss is decided by the finish poker combination, which you’ve got after changing the cards. And of course your winning will depend on the rate which is shown on the monitor.

Usually all the games use the rates from 1 to 5 counters – value from 5 cent to 5 dollars. By the way the biggest rate which is 5 counters (it doesn’t matter if it’s a cent or a dollar) always gives the biggest lottery, sometimes, depending on the automat even the progressive jackpot.

Such automats are also called “one-armed bandits” because of their ability to take money away from people. The result of the game usually depends on the combination of the symbols, which appears on the front side of the automat after the drums stop. Modern technologies caused the great variety of slot-machine combinations. Nowadays these “gangsters” are the most favorite kind of game in casinos and they bring more than 70% of all the income.

It can be made with the counter automats. You look for the machine, which isn’t connected with the wall. Then you play fairly till the moment when the khopper (the mechanism of giving out the counters) is full. Then you put a nut under the corner of the automat, and with the help of the thick piece of paper try to get out the counters which fall down from the khopper. Then comes criminal, and it means very dangerous game with these counters. The game is free, because you didn’t buy those counters, and very big winnings the mechanic gives by himself, opening the machine.

That means, if you yourself isn’t lucky, maybe you’ll find the mechanic’s or the manager’s mistake… But you don’t have to have a great hope on those accidents.

Especially talented gamers test the khopper in the coin machines with the ability of loan game. It’s very easy to do: load the coins (about 10-100) and then try to get back. If there will be fewer coins than take the mechanic with you. Let him repair the aggregate and return your money. But if there is more coins you can “take them out” till their end in the automat. But it can be possible only if the mechanic is very lazy and stupid. Reliability (if you’re lucky to find such automat) is very high and there is no crime.

If you want you can look for the key for loan code. The number of code’s symbols can vary to 15000. Maybe, you want? You can try. I’ve found in the Internet that some are lucky to find.

Some people, who are completely despairing in their ability to win, can tie the thread to the coin. It’s possible if there is enough place between the place which “takes” the coins and the counter of the coins to return the coin back to the “taker”. But it’s very dangerous. You can be punished by the law then. The same is pushing some other metal things, not coins inside.

The situation is like this: a row of cards appears on the monitor and you have to guess the meaning of the first: if it’s bigger or less than seven. If you guess right – you winning will be doubled. If no – you won’t get anything. Moreover, you have one help – the card, which opens itself. If you find it, you don’t have to guess anything; your winning will be multiplied itself. Everything is easy!

The aggregate should bring the profit to his owner of course, so one part goes to the owner, and another part comes back to the players as a winning. The program which looks after it carefully is named “distributor”. The Cherry Bonus has two of them: one for the main game and another for the risk-game. It’s understood that they should be connected. But why should they, it’s visible. So our situation is different…

“Catchers” of course weren’t afraid. At first they “fed” the automat with money, playing risk-games. It wasn’t difficult to do. All the machine’s tries to give gamblers the lottery were empty. The players didn’t listen to any help. At the end came up the moment when the automat gave the players winnings all the time, it didn’t depend on the card, chosen by the gamer – automat made all the cards winning.

Having the ability to win strongly in their pockets, “catchers” did the main game with the biggest rates. At the end they had a big winning but the risk game was completely serious. The distributor, leading this game, can’t know the situation before. So it believes it has to lose the game now.

Anyway, the “catchers” help to lead the slots to the perfection, even not wanting to do it. Nowadays, the factories make the security systems and program equipment much cleverer with several security levels. The tables of games and their programs, including “mathematics” are divided to different transmitters.

If, for example, the automat has 20 games, each of them has its own program system. And break it with all your temptation maybe is possible but too difficult. As it is said “the game doesn’t cost candles”. It isn’t even a computer in which a usual hacker can only break the main file.

Besides such difficult way there are a lot much easier ways to cheat the aggregate.

Some people till our days tell stories about the way to push the lever or the button, other tell legends about “old” machines, which give the money easily, and another side is sure you have to try new slots to find the successes. People, who are more suspicious, believe that everything is connected with the social problems and that automats are made to win all the time by greedy managers, that they are controlled through the distance, regulating the possibility to win concerning with the player’s faces and even time of the day.

It’s had to be noticed that all such thoughts are likely to be connected with the paranoia (it’s also a reason of an unstoppable game). First of all the tricks of such kind are likely to be crimes. The second is that they are dangerous for casino too. The casinos don’t publish the statistic of the internal crime. But the banks have such. So the loses of banks caused by the internal crimes are bigger than loses from external swindlers in three times. The owners aren’t likely to be so foolish….

However there are some abilities to break the automat in intellectual way. There is even a special word to name such swindlers – “catchers”, finding different program’s defects and starting to win exactly after find.
