Vulkan Vegas Video Poker

Video poker traces its history as far back as the late 1890s, a time when the famous invention of Charles Fey was the talk of the town. This little known mechanic invented the famous Liberty Bell slot machine in his garage, which would later become the first ever slot machine to be invented. A few modifications to the machine gave birth to the modern day video poker machine, which can be played at the land-based casinos.

History of Modern Day Video Poker Games

Despite the slot machine being founded in the late 1890s, it wasn’t until the mid-1970s when they really had an impact that could be felt. This was after the video poker machine was unveiled. In fact, at that time, the gaming commotion that these machines caused, especially among the novice hungry players remains to date to be the most hectic yet memorable in the history of casino gaming. It even surpassed the introduction of online casinos in 1994.

Today, online video poker has established itself as one of the most sought after casino games in the online sphere. It, therefore, goes without saying that it's rare for you to come across an online or brick and mortar casino that hasn’t included the ‘motion-picture’ video poker game in its portfolio. For some of the experienced players, video poker is the only reason why they’d actually sign up at an online casino and start ‘investing’ their time playing these games.

This is the reason why at Vulkan Vegas, we are committed to bringing as many video poker variants as possible to you. But before we can proceed to the nifty details about this game, let us explain the basic rules of video poker.

How to Play Video Poker Online

We have multiple versions of video poker games at our site. Despite having different in-game features and rules to follow, the style of gameplay is pretty much standard: simply follow the easy steps below.

• Open your preferred video poker game to reveal a paytable, Bet One, Bet Max and Deal buttons.
• You are required to choose the number of coins that you’d like to play per hand. As you decide on this, you should also consult the game’s paytable for the different payouts. This could be between 1 and 5 coins.
• Select the number of coin denominations that you’d like to play with. Most of our games offer between €0.05 and €5 coins. After selecting the coin denomination, repeatedly click on the ‘Bet One’ button until you are satisfied with the total number of coins you’d like to wager.
• If you’ve managed to come this far, then you are ready to hit the ‘Deal’ button to reveal the cards that you are working with. After this, you get to select the cards that you’d like to hold. The remaining cards are automatically discarded and replaced with newer ones.

Winning in Video Poker

There are multiple variants of video poker games with each one having a minimum hand to win.

• If you’ve chosen to play Jacks or Better, you need a pair of Jacks
• If you’ve chosen to play Joker Poker, you need a pair of kings

These are the two most played video poker games at Vulkan Vegas. Other games have winning information in the rules section.

If you are lucky enough to win, there’s a provision of doubling your wins or nothing. This provision appears automatically, and all you need to do is click on either Yes (to double) or No (to collect your winnings).

Thrill seekers who proceed with the Yes option will be given a new screen that comes with cards. Four of these cards appear face down, while one of the face-up cards is the dealer’s card. If you have to double your wins, you need to pick a card with a higher value than that of the dealer.

If you think this is too much for you to handle, we have the provision which allows you to cancel the game and return to the base game where you get to retain your wins.

Video Poker Variations at Vulkan Vegas Casino

There are two categories of video poker at Vulkan Vegas: the ‘short-pay’ and ‘full-pay’ games. Full-pay games only emerged after the design and development of the modern day video poker games. When compared to the former, these games offer you the highest paybacks. Games that offer a lower payback percentage are referred to as the ‘short-pay’ video poker games.

When it comes to the video poker variations, each game differs from the other in terms of the rules and the payouts. As such, we’d like to take you through some of the popular variants at Vulkan Vegas Casino.

Jacks or Better

Even before the advent of the online video poker games, Jacks or Better received a fair share of play time at the land-based casinos. At Vulkan Vegas, we’ve included this game too. When playing it, your objective is to ensure that your final cards contain a pair of Jacks or Better. Full-pay Jacks or Better can sometimes be referred to as 9/6 jacks. It gets its name from the 9× multiplier it offers for a Full House, and 6× payout it provides for a Flush.

Deuces Wild

The twos in Deuces Wild video poker are wild. If you manage to land a Four of a Kind, then you get a payout that’s 1.3% of the overall payback percentage. With a perfect strategy and nice bankroll management, you can find deuces wild on pay schedules that offer a 100.8% return.

Aces and Faces

Aces and Faces is a variation of Jacks or Better game. However, it differs from the original version in terms of the payout when you land Four of a Kind. Like the original version, the game is played using a 52-card deck.
