Video Poker - Canada Online Video Poker Info
Microgaming has developed more than 20 different versions of Video Poker and Canadian players can now find these exciting varieties on Microgaming’s download, Flash and Quickfire platforms. Some are also now available on mobile.
Video Poker is based on five card draw poker, which is a traditional Vegas-style card game, but the action takes place over a video screen/monitor and you don’t play against any other players. This game relies on a bit of luck and skill and it also helps to know a little bit about the different poker wins before playing Video Poker.
When you play one hand of video poker, you will be dealt five cards. If you have a great hand you won’t need to discard any cards, but if you want to try and improve your hand, you can discard up to five cards. However many you decided to get rid of, that amount will be replaced with new cards and this will hopefully improve your hand. When your new cards are dealt, you will either win or lose and that will be one round of Video Poker complete.
The types of wins available in this game usually start from a pair of tens or higher. A high card will not win you any cash when playing video poker. Other wins, in ascending order, include two pairs, three of a kind, a straight, a flush, a full house, four of a kind, a straight flush and the best win is a royal flush, which usually awards the jackpot.
