How to Play Video Poker at JL Boss

Step 1: Place Your Bet
Start by selecting your wager amount using the bet controls. Video Poker typically allows you to bet 1-5 coins, with higher bets activating enhanced payout tables for premium hands like Royal Flushes.

Step 2: Deal Your Hand
Click the "Deal" button to receive five cards. Analyze your hand and decide which cards to hold based on poker hand rankings and potential winning combinations.

Step 3: Select Cards to Hold
Click on the cards you wish to keep. These cards will be marked as "HELD" and will remain in your hand for the draw round. Strategic card selection is key to maximizing your winning potential.

Step 4: Draw New Cards
Click "Draw" to replace the cards you didn't hold with new ones from the deck. Your final five-card hand is then evaluated against the paytable, and winnings are automatically credited to your balance.

Step 5: Double or Collect
Many Video Poker games offer a "Gamble" or "Double" feature after a winning hand, allowing you to potentially double your winnings by guessing the color or suit of a hidden card.

Pro Video Poker Strategies & Tips

Learn Optimal Strategy: Each Video Poker variant has its own optimal strategy based on the paytable. Study and memorize basic strategy charts to maximize your expected return. For Jacks or Better, always hold paying hands and draw to potential straights or flushes when appropriate.

Bet Max Coins: When playing Video Poker with a progressive jackpot or enhanced Royal Flush payouts, always bet the maximum number of coins. The payout jump from 4 to 5 coins on a Royal Flush is significant enough to justify the extra bet.

Know Your Paytables: Before playing, check the game's paytable. Look for "Full Pay" machines that offer 9 coins for a Full House and 6 for a Flush in Jacks or Better (9/6 machine), as these provide the highest RTP.

Practice with Free Games: Use JL Boss's free play mode to practice different Video Poker variants and refine your strategy before playing with real money. This helps you become familiar with hold patterns and decision-making.

Manage Your Bankroll: Set a budget and stick to it. Video Poker can have high variance, so ensure you have enough bankroll to withstand losing streaks while waiting for premium hands like Royal Flushes.
