Video Poker is a classic poker game played against an automated dealer. After placing the bet, the player receives cards dealt randomly by the dealer, forming their hand. The game thus offers the option to change or keep the cards (from 1 to 5) according to the player's choice. The hand ends with the payment of any winnings according to the combinations listed in the payout table. The particularity of this virtual version is the ability to choose how many hands to play: 1, 5, or 10.

OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

The objective of Video Poker is to obtain the best possible card combination and win the maximum bet allowed by the stake.
