One of my personal favorites video poker is a game of skill, with the possibility of big wins and importantly has a low house advantage.
The rules are very simple
The player plays 1-5 coins
The machine deals you 5 cards from a deck of cards
The player chooses which cards ( if any ) to hold
The discarded cards are randomly replaced by others from the deck
The machine pays out according to the value of their 5 card hand
There are alot of variations of video poker with, bonuses for certain hands, wild cards, different pay tables etc, the most common is probably jacks or better and when played with a full pay table has a house advantage of 0.46%
Two very important factors when playing video poker is to always play on a full pay table when possible, and to always play max coins as you only get the max payout for a royal flush using 5 coins, on a full pay machine 1 coin pays 250, 2 coins pay 500, 3 coins pay 750, 4 coins pay 1000, 5 coins pay 4000 and not 1250.
