I'm not sure if many of you know but Video Poker is based on five card draw poker. The game and it's rules are extremely simple. You try and build a hand which is jacks or better. The better the hand, the higher the payout.

Just last week I was playing some video poker in my favorite casino. I was a little perplexed by the fact that I only had $6 left in my betting account. I was pretty cranky at the fact that I wasn't hitting anything big. Well then my luck changed. Right off the bat I get a King, Queen, Jack and 10 of spades. I'm like, WHAT THE HECK, so instead of playing for the pair and playing it safe, I go for th big one!! Well, $6000 later, I can say i'm a pretty happy guy.

This decisive hand includes a 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of the same suit. For those looking to win big money, the progressive jackpot is to be played which I didn't play when I won my money last week!!! Getting the Royal Flush is required in order to win the pot. The funds are taken from a network of video poker machines where a payment is made for each bet made. This special jackpot can increase quickly within a brief period.
