Video poker has been around for over almost 50
years, In 1970 🌝 Dale Electronics introduced the world’s first video poker machine. It
was called “Poker-Matic.” It was installed in virtually every casino 🌝 that existed in
Las Vegas at that time.
Even though it did not become a big hit, the Poker-Matic laid
the 🌝 groundwork for future games that would capture the gambling public’s imagination –
and dollars.
It became popular in the 1980s, when 🌝 computers began to get powerful
enough to offer a game to the masses on home users, including the early Ataris 🌝 (400 and
800), the VIC20.
Video Poker is incredibly popular in Vegas casinos. Interestingly, it
is only in recent years that 🌝 slots have overtaken poker machines in popularity in the
casinos.
Video poker can pay out well if you know how to 🌝 play the game properly. That's
why so many players like to master a single version of video poker, like 'Bonus 🌝 Poker'
and 'Jacks or Better' rather than playing them all.
During this time, the game also
became popular in casinos as 🌝 a real money game. Players can play for pennies, right
through to many dollars per hand and so appeals to 🌝 players of all levels.

The game itself usually follows the same schedule as
Texas Holdem, the game 🌝 that is most popular on the TV and indeed, throughout the US and
Canada.
The game is initiated with the deal. 🌝 Five cards are dealt to the player and the
player is given the opportunity to hold or discard any of 🌝 the cards. The idea is to get
the best hand possible and the machine pays out certain wins above a 🌝 certain threshold
of win.
So, for example on Jacks or better, the machine would pay out on any hand that
has 🌝 a pair of Jacks or better (i,e, a pair of queens, or three of a kind).
In addition,
the payouts become 🌝 larger, as the power of the hand you get is better. So, you will get
a much larger payout for 🌝 a hand comprising 4 of a kind, than you would if you had a
pair of jacks

popular in the casinos. In this game, all the 2s are wild.

multiple hands at once. For those players, you will see quite a few machines where the
🌝 player is offered 5 hands at once. There are even machines offering 50 hands at once.

Your Cards Right game show.

jackpots. With these games, if 🌝 you hit the best win (a royal flush), you will get an

wagering 'max' bet - this means that they need to play the top domination per 🌝 hand
