The odds of you winning at Video poker are determined by following 4 simple tips, that are easy to learn.
How to play.
Video Poker has the same rules as draw poker. The machine deals five cards on the screen. The player can, take up to five new cards or keep any he has.
The player keeps the cards they want to keep by hitting the “hold” button that corresponds to the individual card shown.
When the choice is made the player presses the “play” button, and the cards discarded are replaced by new ones.
The result of the game is determined by the outcome after the final hand is dealt.

Here are comparisons of payouts.
9 for a full house 6 for a flush 99.5%
8 for a full house 5 for a flush 97.4%
7 for a full house 5 for a flush 96.3%etc
Tip 2 - Play maximum amount of coins.
If you bet five coins, all winning hands are paid out by a factor of five, except for the royal flush. This is a bonus amount designed as an incentive to play five coins. If a player plays less than maximum coins then they won’t win a Royal Flush and can’t win at video poker longer term.
