Video Poker Explosion

Video poker has literally EXPLODED in popularity both on the Las Vegas strip and at online casino gambling websites and the reasons are as numerous and valid as are the video poker players themselves.

Video poker, it can be said, is poker without the nonsense and garbage. There are no bluffs and blustering, no reading other players and no deception or trickery. Instead, video poker is poker at its most pure essence. It’s simply the gambler against the machine, with nothing but the odds to calculate and manipulate and contest.

There are numerous different variations of video poker, with different jackpot structures depending on hands and also some machines will offer wild cards such as deuces or jokers, to add an extra wrinkle and more strategic possibilities for the gambler. Some machines will also have special payouts for such hands as four aces. Of course, the most coveted of all hands, the Royal Flush, will have large payouts from a video poker machine but even those will vary depending on the betting structure offered by the machine and or the online casino. There are even some more complex video poker games offered by online casino websites that have multiple hands or special rules or deviations from the norm. One of the great advantages of playing online casino video poker is that you can find a variety and number of options that are simply not available on the Las Vegas strip.

For a purest type of online casino poker player, who wants no nonsense and the shot at big jackpots, video poker is the perfect game of choice!
