Playing a video poker requires only a basic understanding of the composition of various video poker hands. The game itself is simple. 

Decide on the coin size you want to play with by going to the Coin Size menu.

Decide how many coins you want to bet by clicking the Increase and Decrease buttons. These are represented by either a (+) and (-) symbol, or an Up and Down arrow. 

Click Deal to start the game. 

Your first hand of cards will appear in the play area. Examine them carefully. You should compare the cards in your hand with the payout schedule on screen. Any winning hands in your first hand will be indicated on the payout schedule and, if automatic hold is enabled, the cards will automatically be held for you.



You can hold a column of cards by clicking on the card in that row in the first hand and unselect a column of cards by clicking on that card again. When you hold a card a bar saying held will be displayed across the card.

E.g. 

Hold the cards that can potentially give you the highest payout. 

Click the Draw button to get your new cards. If your cards make up a winning hand you will be offered an opportunity to double your money or to collect your winnings. 

Once you have collected your winnings you can begin another hand of Power Poker by clicking on the Deal button.
