Origins of Poker

There is a degree of uncertainty over the true origins of Poker. Believed to be rooted back to an ancient Chinese dynasty or to the Persian card game “As Nas”, this day’s version of Poker can actually be traced back to the 17th century when the French game known as Poque crossed the oceans to New Orleans along with the French colonists, where it was renamed Poker. Poque was essentially based on the Spanish Primero – a three-card game where bluffing played a key part. 

By the 19th century, poker was played with a 52-card deck and 5 cards were dealt to each player. Poker’s popularity swept the world, triggering multiple offshoots. In fact, so popular was the game that when online casinos burst onto the scene in the mid-1990s, poker was one of the first games to successfully transition.

Video Poker Rules

Most video poker games follow the basic premise of traditional poker – getting the highest hand ranking possible. Hand rankings begin with the value of your highest single card and rise until the most sought-after combo, the Royal Flush. 

Typically, five cards are dealt to you and you must try form the best poker hand possible. The same hierarchy of hands exists in all games as follows:

  1. Royal Flush: This is the strongest poker hand you can have. Defined as the highest-ranking straight flush, you need to hold an Ace, King, Queen, Jack and a 10 card of identical suits – for example: Hearts.
  2. Straight Flush: 5 cards of the same suit in a sequence – for example: 4 to 8 of spades.
  3. Four of a Kind: 4 cards with the same rank – for example: 4 Jacks in different suits.
  4. Full House: Three cards with the same rank and a pair – for example: three 10s and a pair of 9.
  5. Flush: 5 cards of the same suit, regardless of their numerical order – for example: 5 cards in diamonds.
  6. Straight: 5 cards in rank order – for example: from 5 to 9 of any suits.
  7. Three of a kind: 3 cards of the same rank, different suits – for example: three 9s.
  8. Two Pair: 2 cards of the same rank, twice – for example: two 10s and two 4s in different suits.
  9. Pair: 2 cards of the same rank – for example a pair of Aces in different suits.
  10. High Card: You don’t have any of the above hands so, you will play the highest ranking card – for example: five cards in different suits: 2,4,5,9 and Jack – Jack is the highest card to play.

In video poker, different variants sometimes bring their own twists to a game’s hand ranking. For example:

  • Jacks or Better – you can only start winning if you form a pair of Jacks or anything better.  
  • Deuces Wild Double Up – the 2s are suddenly given a mighty power punch in value. 

Video Poker Payout

The pay-outs on all video poker hands depend on how good the hand is as well as the value of the bets. Wagering a minimum amount of coins (1 coin) will obviously see you earn the lowest payout that corresponds to your winning hand. If you wager the maximum number of coins (5), you’ll receive the highest payout if you get a winning hand. 

Once you are confident in the game, one of the best ways to improve your chances of winning is to use a basic strategy card. This shows how to perform when you are presented with different hands (which cards to keep and which to discard) and is an excellent way to improve your odds and bring down the house edge.
