Learn to play Video Poker right.
Here is a nice site that I found that will teach anyone to play Videopoker the right way, using the same software as you would use in Vegas.
The name of the site is
www.Videopoker.com and it has all of your favorite video poker games you would play in a casino, as they are the makers of the software you see on all machines in the casinos.
It's nice that Videopoker.com, shares this learning tool so you can avoid mistakes before you go to the casino. Their slogan is "Play at home...Win in the casino!"
I've decided to try and write a story about each version of video poker they make to share with other video poker players all around the world.
Today I'm going to start with 5 play Quick Qauds. You can play Quick Qauds all the way up to 100 hands at one time.
Ok, so you're saying what is Quick Qauds? Same thing I was saying after I seen the game in Las Vegas.
Quick Quads is a video poker game that for the first five coins bet per hand, the game plays like any regular multi-play video poker. Add a sixth coin bet and the player qualifies to add two cards together to complete a four of a kind. For example, if you have a 10-10-10-2-8, as I do in the picture to the left, you can add the 2 and 8, to make a fourth 10. A full house like 6-6-6-3-3 will pay as a four of a kind too. Only four of a kinds of 2 to 10 qualify as Quick Quads, and aces count as one point. The game sometimes bumps up some of the four of a kind wins too, for a sixth coin bet. With the sixth coin bet, the player will get about 2.7 times as many four of a kinds.

www.Videopoker.com before you go and throw you money away at some casino, heck it's free and will save you more money in the long run.
Everyone who plays video poker eagerly awaits that fourth ace, or specific card that completes a straight flush. Well just how frequently do various jackpot hands occur? These numbers are ON AVERAGE and vary based on the game you play, but are good benchmarks with which to set your expectations as you play:
