The rules of the game in video poker

Video poker is based on classic poker combinations. The main objective of the game is to collect any paid combinations of five cards laid out. The game is played with a standard 52-card deck.
After placing the initial bet in front of the player, five cards are laid out on the screen. Money is credited to the balance in the event that they were able to form a poker combination from the set (three identical cards) and above. The more complex the poker combination, the greater the total payout.

The most expensive combinations of the machine, as in poker, are considered:

• full house;
• square;
• straight flush;
• Royal flush;

For their loss, credits are accrued, exceeding the size of the initial bet by several tens of times.
Features of video poker

Video poker allows you to change any cards after the first hand, thereby leaving on the playing field only the strongest cards that can form an expensive combination. Use the "Hold" key to mark the cards that the player wants to leave on the screen. After the second change of cards, the machine calculates the results and accrues winnings according to the payout tables. If the poker combination is not formed-the machine takes the entire bet itself.

Various variations of video poker (such as "Deuces Wild") use some cards as a Wild symbol. They act as a kind of jokers and replace any other cards, thereby helping players to form a winning combination. When combinations with the participation of such cards are drawn, the size of the win increases by 2-3 times.
