Even though to play Video Poker only requires a very fundamental understanding of the value of conventional Poker hands, if those are secrecy to you, we'd always suggest getting familiar with those first to get the most out of playing this game. Once you're au fait with the first principles of classic five cards Poker then Video Poker itself is extremely easy.

In advance of play you decide the quantity of money you want to bet by putting coins to that value into the machine (playing online you click on a 'coin menu' to replicate this action), then hit the 'Deal' button to start the game.

The first hand of cards appears on the screen after which you should pass on to the onscreen payout schedule to see what are, or could potentially develop into, winning hands. Similar to playing slots, you can then choose to 'hold' certain cards and then replace the rest by hitting the 'Draw' button for new cards. If you then hold a winning hand you can either collect your winnings, or attempt to double your money with a further bonus game.

One you have collected any winnings from a game, you can play a new hand by hitting the 'Deal' button again.
