Although video poker is the culmination of slot machines and poker, unlike slots where you simply hit spin and leave the rest to fate, video poker requires strategy and skill. And since, you can't raise, call or bluff the computer; we've compiled several strategies to help you get the most out of your game.

Card combinations, like slot reels, are governed by a Random Number Generator (RNG). This ensures that cards are dealt from a randomly shuffled 52-card deck. The RNG continually cycles through multitudes of random combinations per minute. The second you hit the 'Deal' button, the RNG selects a combination - this means that there are no 'hot' or 'cold' cycles. You could just hit a straight flush on one hand, and then do it again on the very next one.

Video poker is a combination of skill, luck and fast-paced excitement that you can't afford to miss. So pull up a chair and play your best hand.
