The video poker games are accessible through the Video Poker button below the Last Balls area. Clicking the button displays a list of all available poker games that you can play. These are Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker, and Joker Poker. The four poker variations have the same buttons, as follows:
Coin Value allows you to choose the value of the coin you wish to wager each round. It is fixed for every game and ranges between a dime and one dollar. See How to Change the Coin Value
Bet 1 or Max Bet allow to select the number of coins you wish to wager per hand. Each click on the Bet 1 button increases your bet with one coin per hand. You can bet one to five coins per hand. Pressing Max Bet will increase your bet to the maximum amount possible, that is, five coins per each hand, and deal the cards automatically.
Hands Count allows you to select the number of hands that you want to play. You can play up to ten hands. Each click on the Hands Count button increases the number of the hands with three.
Click Deal to receive your cards after you have placed your bets. Clicking this button once again deals your cards and replaces the remaining cards after you have selected which cards to hold.
Bet indicates the total amount of your bet. The value in the Bet field is equal to the number of hands you play, multiplied by the number of coins you wager per hand.
Win shows the total amount of the coins you have won from the game.
Pay Table displays a table of winning poker hands in order of rank. You can refer to the pay table when deciding which cards to hold to make sure that the cards you've decided to keep will most probably make a winning hand. Since the automatic hold option is enabled for the BINGO EMPIRE video poker games, the program automatically holds the cards for you.
The area to the right of your cards displays the winning combinations and their number. If the number of your winning hands exceeds four, two arrow buttons will appear, allowing you to move through your winnings.
Game ID shows the identification number of the current game. Clicking on the game ID copies the identification number of the game to the Clipboard. Please, paste this number in the e-mails you are sending to customer support when you have problems with a certain game, so that they will be able to help you.
Video Poker Variants
We offer four kinds of video poker games. The differences are in the winning tables (in different games, different winning amounts are offered for different combinations), and in the presence or absence of a wild card.
JACKS OR BETTER - The lowest (or least valuable) standard poker hand that will payout in this game is Jacks or Better, a hand containing at least a pair of Jacks or more valuable cards. Jacks or Better has no wild cards.
DEUCES WILD - In this video poker game all deuces are wild cards. These cards can be used as any card. The wild card, for example, can be the missing card to complete a straight or the fifth heart in a heart flush. Because of the wild card the minimum rank for a winning hand is 3 of a kind.
BONUS POKER - This video poker game is played the same as Jacks or Better. The only difference is that BONUS POKER pays more on 4 Aces, and 4 2's, 3's and 4's.
JOKER POKER - In this video poker game all jokers are wild cards.
