Video poker is a simulated casino game based on the traditional card game five-card draw poker. Video Poker is a popular game at casinos both online and offline. The rules of the game remain the same; the player is dealt five cards, chooses which ones to keep or discard and then draws new cards in the hope to build the best possible poker hand. In video poker, the player does not compete with any other players. He simply places his bet, the amount of which is determined by the game settings.
The mobile version of Video Poker requires the same skill and strategy as the traditional version, but it is optimized for the touch-screen and mobile devices. In some mobile casinos, the player can select the type of Video Poker game he wishes to play, such as Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker's Wild, etc. Then the player is taken to the mobile version of the game. Most mobile casinos use the same deck of cards for all types of Video Poker, and the game proceeds as usual.
