Find the Most Popular Video Poker Variations

Popular video poker games are just as much fun when you play them at home as they are in live casinos. Today video poker fans can find a selection of new and exciting games on offer at online poker sites.

One of the most popular video poker variations is a game called Play Jacks or Better Video Poker. The objective of this video poker game is to make up a winning poker hand that features one pair of Jacks. If you have a better pair than Jacks, your prize money increases. A payout table keeps track of how much money you stand to win if you obtain the desired card combinations.

One of the features that makes popular video poker variations including Play Jacks or Better so exciting is the opportunity to double winnings. In Jacks or Better, new cards are dealt when you select the doubling option. Four of these are dealt face down and the last card is face up. Simply choose one card from the hidden four and if it is has a higher value than the face up card, you receive twice the amount you've won previously.
