What is Video Poker?
Video Poker is a casino game based on five-card draw poker. Unlike traditional poker played against other players, Video Poker pits you against the house with fixed odds, making it a game of skill combined with luck. At PH828, our Video Poker variants offer some of the highest RTP percentages in the online gaming industry.
The game begins with you placing a bet and receiving five cards. You choose which cards to hold and which to discard, then draw replacement cards. Your final hand determines your payout based on the paytable. With optimal strategy, certain Video Poker variants can achieve RTP exceeding 99%, making them among the most favorable casino games for players.
- High RTP: 98.9% - 99.5% with optimal strategy
- Skill-based gameplay that rewards strategic thinking
- Multiple variants to suit different playstyles
- Fast-paced action with instant results
- Lower house edge than most casino games
