Video Poker Benefits

Shad — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 02:17:20 +0000

Did you know that video poker can offer some of the best value in the casino? Read on to find out how.

Join Bet365 Casino to play a massive variety of video poker games and other casino games, plus claim up to $6,000 worth of bonuses each month!

To start with, video poker can have a very low house edge when you use perfect strategy. However, you will need to look for the right paytables if you want a good deal. Be sure to research the paytables for each game you play, and compare the ones available to the full pay tables. Once you have found a good one to play, be sure to memorise the strategy, as some video poker variants can actually give the player an edge!

Another benefit of video poker is that many games offer a Double or Nothing option on wins. This can be a fun bet to make and it should have no house edge. Presumably you are willing to take a risk on a fair bet, and Double or Nothing games can turn a medium sized prize into a big one.

Video poker is also very similar to a table game in complexity and entertainment value, while offering the speed of a slots game. You can play up to 100 hands at a time on some video poker games, which can be very rewarding when you hit a flush draw or potential full house.

Best Value Casino Bets

Do you know which casino bets offer the best value and which are for suckers? We take you through the popular games and the bets to make.

Join Casino.com now for access to a full range of casino games including the best table games and hundreds of slots!

First up, let’s look at blackjack, the most popular table game. Our advice is to stay as simple as possible – most blackjack variants have a higher house edge than the standard game. You also need to use strategy to know when to double or split, and forget the insurance bet as it is one of the worst bets in the casino.

Now, for roulette. Black, red, odds and evens all have a decent house edge. What people don’t tell you is that the same goes for bets on any one number, corner bets, street bets – practically every bet has the same house edge. Only a first five bet like you will find in American roulette has a higher edge, so simply avoid this one.

Baccarat seems like an easy choice, but it turns out that the best bet is hidden. The Banker position in punto banco baccarat is the best to play, as its 5% commission is actually the only thing giving the casino an advantage. Both the Player position and the Tie have higher house edges, so always go with the bank in punto banco baccarat.

Finally, video poker is very underappreciated. Correct strategy can leave the house edge as less than 1%, and some machines will even give a slight advantage to the player when perfect strategy is used. Do not pass up the video poker games, but be sure to use strategy and find good pay tables.
