						Video Poker: 
						
						The video poker game is 
						a close relative of the regular game of poker and is 
						derived from a combination of slot machines and 
						five-card draw poker. The major differences between 
						regular poker and video poker games is that in 
						second type people playing against a machine rather than 
						real people, and player goal is to achieve particular 
						hands rather than beat opponents hands (as there are no 
						other players). 
						Video poker games are some of the simplest gambling 
						games to learn how to play. The basic idea of all video 
						poker games is to make the best poker hand possible. 
						
						
						Video Poker Gambling: 
						
						Video poker gambling is the most obvious way to make 
						money with minimum risk. Video poker gambling lets 
						player bet with as little as five cents a hand. Video 
						poker gambling gives the player a chance to change his 
						entire hand and start fresh. The player can even choose 
						to exchange all five cards dealt if he feels like he has 
						a better chance of winning that way.  
						
						
						Ranking of hands: 
						In 
						video poker games the ranking of hands are in ascending 
						orders. These orders are as follows:  
						1. 
						Jacks or better means a pair of jacks or higher. 
						 
						2. 
						Two pair means that this is any two pairs of cards.
						 
						3. 
						Three of a kind means that any three of the same card.
						 
						4. 
						Straight means that there are any five consecutive cards 
						in numerical order, such as five though 10.  
						5. 
						Flush means any five cards with the same suit, such as 
						five hearts.  
						6. 
						Full House means that this is a combination of a pair 
						and three of a kind in the same hand.  
						7. 
						Four of a kind indicates four of the same cards. 
						 
						8. 
						Straight flush indicates five cards that are in 
						numerical order and all have the same suit. 
						
						
						Better payoffs: 
						
						Video poker 
						games are considered as the better pay off than the 
						ordinary poker games. Here gamblers are not playing 
						against anyone but playing against the machine. 
						Therefore player just paid according to what he gets. 
						Many people prefer these types of video games to the 
						traditional table games.
