Video Poker is a classic poker game played against an automated dealer. After placing the bet, the player receives cards dealt randomly by the dealer, forming their hand. The game thus offers the option to change or keep the cards (from 1 to 5) according to the player's choice. The hand ends with the payment of any winnings according to the combinations listed in the payout table.

GAME RULES

The objective of Video Poker is to obtain the best possible card combination and win the maximum bet allowed by the stake.

CARDS

The dealer uses a deck of 52 cards plus 1 joker. The game is shuffled before each hand.

GAMEPLAY

Before starting the game, it is necessary to set the Bet Level by clicking on the corresponding button. To confirm the start of the hand, click Deal; at this point, the dealer will deal 5 cards. It is now possible to select the cards to keep (from 1 to 5). Click on the card or the corresponding "hold" icon to keep one or more cards; the word "Held" will be displayed on the selected card. Then, by clicking Draw, the discarded cards (from 1 to 5) will be replaced. Winnings are determined by the combinations listed in the payout table.
