VIDEO POKER
Video Poker is among one of the most entertaining of the casino video style games available for play online.
At River Boat Casino we have six types of Video Poker games: 7 Stud Poker, Bonus Deuces Wild, Sevens Wild, Loose Deuces, Double Double Bonus Poker, Bonus Poker.
7 Stud Poker: Seven Card Stud is a HIGH card game. More winning hands are decided by the highest pair of two pair or just the highest pair, than by straights, flushes and other big hands. So if you start with a straight or flush draw, it should have at least two high cards or at least one card that is higher than anything up on the board. These draw hands and low pair starting hands need to improve or turn a high pair quickly to justify continued play. Any time your high hand is beaten on the board, fold, unless you think you still have the best draw hand. Fast play early high hands ( that could win without improvement) to thin out the competition. Slow play draw hands to keep other players in to increase the pot odds in case you hit.
Bonus Deuces Wild: The name of the game "Bonus Deuces Wild" refers to the fact that the deuces in the pack (those cards with a face value of 2) can stand in for any other card of any suit. It's like having 4 jokers in the pack! Whenever you get one or more deuces in your final hand, the computer will automatically assign a suit and value to it to give you the highest possible payout, in light of the other cards that you are holding. This ensures that it is a lot easier to create potentially winning hands.
Sevens Wild: Sevens Wild video poker is very similar to the popular Deuces Wild. The sevens act as wild cards and are used to complete winning combinations. However, the payback from a Sevens Wild is less because the 7 is a more valuable card than a 2. This is because it naturally appears in more straights than a 2.
Loose Deuces: Loose Deuces Video Poker (sometimes misspelled as dueces) has no Jacks or Better type of payout so don't leave your hat at the door. Loose Deuces Video Poker payouts are very good...variation is almost over the top! Serious players only please. Ok, we all like to live dangerously on occassions and Loose Deuces Video Poker fits the bill. Pairs are strong, hold only the wild(s) in any rubbish hand. An ace in a rubbish hand will do you no good. let it go. Now go get those four deuces!
Double Double Bonus Poker: Aces with a 2, 3 or, 4 "kicker" pays 2,000. Four aces without a kicker or quad 2s-4s with an ace, 2, 3, or 4 kicker pays 800. To compensate for these juicy jackpots, the full house is usually reduced by one or two coins. Double Double is the most popular game in Nevada. Playing it can result in a great or rough ride, but it's rarely dull.
