Video Poker Games

Unlike slot machines, video poker is a game that requires skill. It's not just about pulling the lever with this one. Throughout the game, you're faced with all kinds of decisions and depending on what cards you decide to keep and replace, you could be lowering or increasing your chances of getting a winning hand. Naturally, hands that are higher ranked will also be more difficult to get.

You can play video poker games at a casino or online. As I have already explained on the free video poker section, there are two choices for you to explore on my site. Let me show you some of the games that Golden Palace offers.

Deuces Wild
The object of Deuces Wild is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once. The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.
Note: in Deuces Wild, the deuces are wild - meaning a deuce (two) stands for any card, like a joker. Hence the name of the game.

4-Line Aces & Faces
This version is part of a new line of video poker games. The object of 4-Line Aces & Faces is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. It differs from original Aces & Faces, since it has four lines of cards. Each line uses a different deck of cards. Each line is treated as a separate hand for the determination of any wins. If you have winning hands on multiple lines, your winnings are added together. The lowest winning combination is a pair of Jacks: a pair of any lower cards (for example, Tens) is not a winning combination; a pair of any higher cards (for example, Queens) is a winning combination.

Jacks or Better
The object of Jacks or Better is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination (see the paytable on the machine). The better your hand, the bigger the payout. You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once. The lowest winning combination is Three of a Kind; that is three cards of the same kind (for example, three Queens).

Keep in mind that there are tons of other games that come with a free player account so your options aren't limited to the video poker games that you see listed here. It would take too long to list them all here and what's the point anyway. You can always go and check it out yourself.
