＊＊＊＊＊＊For the users who are new to Video Poker＊＊＊＊＊＊
Video poker is a casino game based on five-card draw poker. It is played on a computerized console similar in size to a slot machine.
After inserting money (or a barcoded paper ticket with credit) into the machine, play begins by placing a bet of one or more credits and pressing the "deal" button. The player is then given cards and has the opportunity to discard one or more of them in exchange for new ones drawn from the same virtual deck. After the draw, the machine pays out if the hand or hands played match one of the winning combinations, which are posted in the pay table.
Pay tables allocate the payouts for hands and are based on how rare they are, the game variation, and the decision of the game operator. A typical pay table starts with a minimum hand of a pair of jacks, which pays even money. All the other hand combinations in video poker are the same as in table poker, including such hands as two pair, three of a kind, straight (a sequence of 5 cards of different suits), flush (any 5 cards of the same suit), full house (a pair and a three of a kind), four of a kind (four cards of the same value), straight flush (5 consecutive cards of the same suit) and royal flush (a Ten, a Jack, a Queen, a King and an Ace of the same suit).
There are many variations of video poker. They include Deuces Wild, where a two serves as a wild card, pay schedule modification, where four aces with a five or smaller kicker pays an enhanced amount (these games usually have some adjective in the title such as "bonus", "double", or "triple"); and multi-play poker, where the player starts with a base hand, and each additional played hand draws from a different set of cards with the base hand. (Multi-play games are offered in "Triple Play", "Five Play", "Ten Play", "Fifty Play" and "One Hundred Play" versions.)
In games which do not have a wild card a player on average will receive the rare four-of-a-kind hand approximately once every 500 hands, while a player may play tens of thousands of hands before an extremely rare royal flush, which usually has the highest payout.
"Jacks or Better," sometimes simply called "Draw Poker," is the most common variation of video poker. Payoffs begin at a pair of jacks. Full pay Jacks or Better is also known as 9/6 Jacks or Better since the payoff for a full house is 9 credits and the payoff for a flush is 6 credits.

Community Insight:
This is a perfect app for those want to learn how to play this game, love it.
Would like to see a setting where you can set the CREDITS to show all the time or the CASH all the time. If not, possibly move it so when we touch DEAL it doesnt hit that button and toggle back and forth. Otherwise we really enjoy playing.
That’s right! It is the best video poker app.
Fun game n very addicting. Only thing we didn’t like was when you get a bunch of coins it takes them all back real quick. Other than that, a real joy to play.
The game is fine. If you like video poker then it’s amusing. Functions well.
We purchased the $750,000 option for 9.99 and then the game started spazing out and closing the app. We tried numerous things to fix it, so we could continue playing the game. We finally had to delete app and it started over and took all our money down to 10,000? Not cool.
We do not like this we do better in Vegas are you kidding.
It looks and plays just like the casino, and gives us that quick gambling fix. Nice work.
Love the app. Just like being at the casino – almost.
Feel like we’re sitting at a bar in Vegas (without the comped drinks).
Love the way the game plays, as if we were in the casino. Good job.
We really enjoy playing this game because we do not run out of money. We understand why they charge for coins, but it takes the fun out of the game. Please continue developing such great games.
We love this, it is just like casino jacks or better. We just wish the app builder would update it. When we start playing it, it say it may slow down our iPad bc it needs updating. Other than that we totally would have given a 5 star.
We’d rate it 4 stars, but it takes back quickly after winning. Winnings don’t hold steady, nor get ahead. But game is fun and entertaining.
We are very upset. Not only did we just hit a straight AND NOT GET POINTS FOR IT we went to their website to let them know and when we clicked on "Contact Us" all it did was send us to a map of where they are located with no contact information whatsoever. We’re very upset.
We did like this app before we had credits disappear – 5,000,000,000 credits, yes billion! We were playing the 10M credit denomination and hit a straight flush, but when the credits stopped climbing it jumped all the way back down to approx. Where we were before we hit this hand(actually less). Apparently you’re not allowed to accel but to a certain point only, then of which you really feel cheated.
