Video Poker Rules
The object of Video Poker is to obtain a five-card poker hand that contains a winning combination. The better your hand, the bigger the payout. You choose how many and which of your cards are to be replaced. You may replace your cards only once.
Doubling: If you end up with a winning hand, you can accept the win (press Collect), or you have the option to Double it. Should you choose to Double, the dealer draws an open card and you are given 4 unexposed cards to choose between. If you choose a card that is lower than the dealer's, you lose your original win. If the cards are equal, it is a tie, and you have the option to collect your original winnings (press Collect) or Double again. If your card is higher, you win double the amount of your original winnings. You then have the option to collect your winnings or Double even further. You can also choose to Half Double, which means you only double for a half of your winning amount with the remainder being awarded to your account balance.
