Fill Your Poker Fix with Video Poker

With the boom in online gaming, poker has undergone an incredible renaissance. Online poker is one of the most popular games at most online casinos. However, choosing the right tournament and table and then waiting for the next available hand can be a time-consuming process.  If you want a quick poker fix and don’t much like waiting around, then try video poker at Casino King.

Video poker is essentially a brilliant combination of poker and slots. You will be dealt a regular five card poker hand and then it is up to you to decide how many cards you wish to replace. Once you’ve made that decision, press the “deal” button and you will receive new cards.  If they form a winning combination, then you will cash in. Video poker is the perfect mixture of poker strategy and the luck of slots.

The most basic form of video poker is Tens or Better, which as the name would suggest requires a minimum hand of a pair of tens in order to cash in. 10-Line Jacks or Better is a similar arrangement, requiring a pair of jacks or better.  However, it is worth noting that this game includes a progressive jackpot. This means that a portion of each bet has been added to a central prize fund and if you land an especially good hand, you could pocket the lot.

If you are looking to add a bit of extra excitement to your video poker game, then try Joker Poker, where a joker can stand in for any card.  As a result, you have a better chance of building a winning hand.  However, the ultimate in video poker can be found at 25-Line Aces and Faces, where the better the hand the bigger the prize!
