As in video poker you are not actually playing against any opponents, so the ranking of hands and the art and practice of bluffing is not of interest. Your skill lies in being able to determine which cards to hold and which cards to replace when dealt your five card hand.

Although there is no perfect video poker online strategy, you can follow the following guidelines to stretch your gambling dollar:

1 No pair: Discard them and press “deal” button for a better hand

2 Pair: keep the pair and draw three cards.

3 High Pair: Keep any pair unless you have three or four cards to a royal Flush

4 Two Pair: Hold the two pair and draw one card.

5 Hold any pat hand that doesn't have four cards to a higher payoff hand.

6 Don't draw to inside Straights.

7 Draw to an open-ended Straight.

Open-ended means that you have four cards in sequence.

8 Keep three of a Kind and draw two cards.

9 Keep any kind of four-card draw that leads to a high payback

10 Keep all Flushes and Straights unless the Flush can turn into a royal Flush.
