When most players think of casino machines, they immediately picture the bright lights of traditional slots.
+
However, Video Poker is a fundamentally different game that offers vastly superior odds to the player.
+
It is widely considered the best game in the casino for players who are willing to learn proper tactics.
+
Because the game uses a standard 52-card deck, the probabilities of hitting specific hands are completely transparent.
+
Let's break down the mechanics of the game and explain how to identify the most profitable machines.
+The Mechanics: How Video Poker Works
+
Every round begins with the machine dealing you five cards from a virtual 52-card deck.
+
Your only decision in the game is selecting which of the five cards you want to keep for the final draw.
+
Once you hit 'Draw', the cards you threw away are replaced, finalizing your final five-card hand.
+
To win your bet back in standard games, you usually need at least a pair of Face Cards.
+
If you constantly throw away winning cards by mistake, the house edge will skyrocket against you.
+The Secret to Winning: Analyzing Paytables
+
Not all machines are created equal; casinos subtly alter the payouts to increase their house edge.
+
In the popular game "Jacks or Better," you must always look for a "9/6" machine.
+
Casinos often stealthily reduce these payouts to 8/5 or even 7/5 on machines that look exactly the same.
+
Never settle for a short-pay machine; always seek out the best possible paytables available in the casino.
+
Another unbreakable rule of Video Poker is to always bet the maximum number of coins (usually 5).
+Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and More
+
Each variant alters the rules slightly and requires a completely different optimal strategy chart.
+
Because hands are easier to make, the lowest winning hand in Deuces Wild is usually Three of a Kind.
+
These advantageous machines are rare in physical casinos today but can still sometimes be found online.
+
Another popular variant is Bonus Poker, which offers boosted payouts for specific Four of a Kind hands.
+
Regardless of which variant you choose, you must download and study the specific strategy chart for that exact game.
+Summary of Winning Tactics
+
+Look for the Full House and Flush payouts to determine the machine's value.
+If you cannot afford max bet, drop down to a lower denomination machine.
+Memorize the optimal hold decisions to eliminate the house edge.
+A guaranteed win is usually better than a low-probability draw.
+The machine will wait forever; ensure your holds are mathematically correct.

Video Poker is the hidden gem of the casino world, rewarding players who are willing to apply logic and study.

Keep a strategy card open on your phone or printed out next to your keyboard when playing online.
