Video Poker is a machine-based card game in which the player receives an initial hand, chooses which cards to hold and draws replacements for the rest. The final five-card hand is paid according to a fixed table. Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Joker Poker are familiar families, but their qualifying hands, wild-card rules and payouts differ substantially.
Unlike peer-to-peer poker, Video Poker is played against a published payout schedule rather than other players. Strategy consists of choosing holds that maximize expected value under that exact table. Online implementations also rely on random card generation that must follow the stated rules. Material differences include the variant, full paytable, number of hands, bet size and any progressive component before quoting an RTP or recommended hold strategy.
The paytable is central to expected return. Two machines can carry the same game-family name yet pay different amounts for a full house, flush or four of a kind, producing different mathematical returns even with identical strategy. Multi-hand versions repeat the draw across several hands from the same held cards and increase total stake accordingly. Paytable changes are especially important in games from the same named family because they can alter expected return without changing the basic draw sequence.
