All machines have a Payout schedule displayed on the machine. Please be aware that the cards you are dealt in Video poker, will not be displayed in a payout order. You need to make sure that you check your cards to see if you possibly have a good hand before discarding the cards. When pushing the button to hold any particular cards, make sure that you also check these are on hold before discarding. The machines are programmed to indicate to you the hand you have won, and the payout related to that hand. As with all Casino games, the maximum bet always yields the best payout, but as the Video Poker games give you an above average payout, we suggest that you pace yourself around the amount you have set aside for yourself.

Online Video Poker however is a little different to the game of table Poker. When playing table Poker you are not playing by yourself, but have a number of other players at your table. Table Poker requires a rakeback - Rakeback is a refund to the players. Poker players receive a percentage of the rake they pay to the poker room. A normal rakeback offer is between 25 and 40 percent, but sometimes players can get an even better offer.
