Read on to learn the basics that will help you to get started at the Video Poker machines:

• Lines: You can choose from either single line or multi-line Video Poker games. Single-line means you play just 1 hand, while multi-line games mean 1 main hand dealt, which is the base for the remaining lines (though each additional line acts as a hand in its own right – so if you play 10 lines you can win 10 lines).  
• Betting action: With single line or multi-line games, you make an ante bet and receive 5 face-up cards. Your goal is to make the best possible, highest scoring poker hand that you can. You have the option to Hold cards and discard the rest, then draw new cards to replace those discarded.  
• Multi-Line Betting: When you play multi-line Video Poker, any cards you Hold are kept in position on each of your active lines. You will then receive fresh cards to replace those discarded, with each line using its own 52-card deck. If you Hold a winning hand – e.g. QQQ – you will be guaranteed that win (minimum) on each active line.
• Wins: all potential wins and payouts are displayed on the game’s paytable, as rules may differ between variations, especially when it comes to the lowest possible winning hand.  When you win, you will be paid the amount that corresponds to your hand on the paytable for your chosen game.
• Game Rules: All individual games have a rules section in the Help Menu so you can view instantly all the specific rules and payout info for your chosen game.  

It’s true that Video Poker games don’t need the same level of strategy or skill as regular poker games, but there are still some elements you can control that will help improve your odds of landing a win.

• Start by learning the various winning hands and their hierarchy, as this will help you make decisions when you Hold your cards.
• The size of the payout reflects the odds of winning a hand, and so the biggest payouts are awarded for a Royal Flush, while the lowest payouts are awarded for a single pair.
• You can also improve your odds of winning via your game selection. For instance, Deuces Wild has the most favourable odds when it comes to House Edge, due to the inclusion of the 2 cards as wilds.

Starting with basic money management is always a good idea; only play at stakes that match your bankroll, and have a plan in place for your winnings. Then follow the plan you set out for yourself so that you only spend what you intended.

One of the most difficult decisions that Video Poker players face is knowing when to Hold a card or release it, in the hope of landing a better hand. This is where your knowledge of the poker hand hierarchies clearly comes into play. Your aim is to always try to build on any decent starting point you’ve been dealt, so the paytable is your starting point.

The paytable will reveal what your hands are worth and whether it is viable to aim for a bigger win. Do the cards you hold offer any reasonable chance of hitting a bigger payout? If not, stick with your lower paying hand and guarantee a small win. If so, it’s your call on how you want to act.  

But there is another element that is worth considering when you choose your game – the game type. For instance, did you realise that your number of active lines can also have a huge impact on the outcome of your game? As an example, your odds of winning in a single line game vs a multi-line game are much lower and so how you approach your game may require a different strategy as a result.

In a single line game, if you have even a low pair, it makes sense to Hold those cards and secure a payout. However, if you play multi-line Video Poker and have e.g. 25 lines active, you have more room for improvement and you may find it necessary to release a low paying hand in favour of a potentially bigger win. With multiple hands in play, you could opt to drop a card from a low-paying win (e.g. a low pair) in favour of securing a higher paying win (e.g. a straight or flush) that a pair would otherwise impede.
