Poker Tips

Video poker at River Belle online casino comes in a multitude of shapes and sizes, from Deuces Wild to Aces and Faces. All of them should be relatively easy to pick up but to truly master them takes time and a bit of well considered strategy. To get you started here are a few handy video poker tips:

Firstly beginners would be well advised to play a few games in practice mode, when it comes to online gaming its well worth observing the old adage ‘practice makes perfect’; luckily River Belle allows you to practice for as long as you like before playing for real.

Another straightforward piece of advice that’s nonetheless important to remember is to take your time. There’s no time limit and unlike playing against real people there’s no reason you should feel intimidated into rushing a hand.

Take a bit of time to familiarise yourself with a game you haven’t tried yet. There’s over a hundred version of video poker and each one is subtly different. Just because you’ve got the hang of one don’t assume that you know what you’re doing on all of them.

In a similar vein, having tried a few of the variations it might be wise to limit your play to couple of games that you feel comfortable with.

Bare in mind the importance of the Jack. It’s not widely appreciated but because it opens the door to so many potentially good hands a Jack is actually more useful than any other card in the pack, including an ace.

It makes sense to play the maximum number of coins allowed by a game. By playing 5 coins for example all winning hands barring a royal flush are paid out by a factor of 5.
