Play Real Money Video Poker Online at MansionCasino ZA

Video Poker is a fun game to play that combines the random luck of slot games with a touch of the skill used in five-card poker. 

Unlike Poker, you aren't playing against other players, trying to bluff your way to winning a stack of chips. Instead, the goal of the game is to have a winning Poker hand.

MansionCasino is the best place for South African players to play Video Poker for real money. We work with the leading casino software developers to bring our players the highest quality single and multi-line Video Poker games.

The goal of Video Poker is to get a winning poker hand. The better your hand is, the bigger your payout will be. The game is played on a five-reel board, similar to an online slot game, and after you place your bet, you will receive five face-up cards.

Take a look at your cards, and see if they either make up a winning hand or can be used to build a win. You can hold these cards and then click the “Draw” button and discard the cards you don't want. If you're not sure what makes up a winning hand, look at the paytable and see the different possibilities. One great feature is that any cards that combine to create a win will automatically hold, this happens with wild cards as well.

If you are playing a multi-line game, the cards you hold will appear on all active paylines. The remaining cards will be discarded, and new cards will replace them.

Once you have your final five cards, you will automatically win based on the best combination in your hand. In other words, if you have three kings and two aces, you'll win a payout based on a full house and not three of a kind.  

Each game has different payouts, odds, and what consists of a winning hand, so be sure to check the rules for each Video Poker game.

The odds for Video Poker vary slightly based on whether the game has wilds or more winning possibilities. Similarly, the house edge changes for each game and can range from 5% to 0.5%. You can even find games, such as Deuces Wild with a negative house edge of -0.76%.

When you place your bet, you can choose the stake size and how many coins you want to wager. By adding extra coins, your payouts will be larger. Below is a sample paytable from the Single Line Jacks or Better.

Since each game has a slightly a different paytable, it's essential to look over the paytable before you deal your first hand. This will help you make educated decisions about which cards to hold or discard. For example, if you're playing a game of Jacks or Better, and you have a 10, there is no reason to hold it in hopes of getting a pair of 10s.

If you're playing a multi-line game, it makes sense to take a bigger risk and try and build for a better hand than you would in a single line game. The extra lines give you multiple chances of receiving that card or two needed for a big win.

When you're holding five cards that don't come close to creating a win, but you have a picture card or ace, hold it and discard the other four cards in hopes of at least getting a pair. If all the cards are 9s or lower, replace them all and see if you get lucky.
