5 Best Video Poker Variants That Everyone Should Try Video poker may require less knowledge and skills than regular poker, but that doesn't make the game any less exciting. The different variants available to players add additional appeal to this popular casino game. This is especially true for online casino users. If you want to try out video poker, our advice is to familiarize yourself with the most played variants. In our guide, you will get all the essential information showing you what to expect if you play them. Let's begin. 1. Bonus Deuces Wild Bonus Deuces Wild is an interesting video poker online variant, in which deuces play a significant role. Namely, all 2s act as wild cards. In other words, they have the power to substitute any other card, as long as they can help you get a winning combination. Don't forget that this is a twist on the iconic Deuces Wild game. Like in the case of regular poker games, the Bonus Deuces Wild video poker promises payouts related to the specific title and paytable. Still, this variant generally provides higher prizes for hands with deuces. This is especially true for the ones with four-of-a-kind wins with 2s or so-called wild royal flush. Video poker doesn't involve complex strategies, and Bonus Deuces Wild is not an exception. We should only remind you that holding deuces is usually the right thing to do because winnings with deuces deliver bonus payouts. 2. Jacks or Better Jacks or Better is another famous variant of this game. In fact, many experts consider this to be the first video poker variant. Records confirm that Jacks or Better was played as early as 1970. With its help, the casino industry created other variations. Jacks or Better is known for its simplicity and reasonable payouts. It's played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Both beginner and experienced players look for it in land-based and online casinos. Players shouldn't expect wild cards in this game. This is the reason why forming hands should be conducted carefully. Some users avoid it because it comes with lower payouts than Bonus Deuces Wild or Joker Poker. However, it's worth noting that it also has higher hand frequency. One of the best pieces of advice you can get about Jacks or Better is to make an effort to create high hand combos and flushes or straights whenever you have a chance to do so. If there are low cards that don't provide any value, discard them right away. 3. Joker Poker Joker Poker has several sub-variants. The main difference between them is the number of wild jokers. Some have only one, others two, three, or even five wild cards like this. Their number affects the volatility, so players can make the best choice depending on their gaming style – riskier or more cautious. As noted, games with wild cards have more formation possibilities. As a result, you can expect higher potential payouts. To achieve these wins, you must come up with a strategy and be ready to adjust it depending on the outcomes during one gaming session. Needless to say, payouts are associated with the number of wild cards in play and the paytable. Once again, we advise players to use the wild cards to get high-value hands whenever possible. Remember the number of wild cards in play and create a strategy based on this information. 4. Aces and Faces Invented in the early 1980s, Aces and Faces is a variation of Jacks or Better. This time, we have a variant with more wild cards known as faces. They bring more hand possibilities. As such, Aces and Faces attracts players looking for bigger wins regardless of the risk involved. This video poker variant pays more for ordinary winning hands with faces than Jacks or Better. It also has a lower win frequency in general. You should focus on keeping the faces and cards that can lead you to flushes or straights. The presence of extra wild cards should remind you that you must modify your discard strategy in the long run. 5. Double Double Bonus Poker You can get bonus payouts for specific hands thanks to the Double Double Bonus Poker. This is possible with the help of the option to gamble winnings. This way, you can multiply the winnings by two or four. If you don't mind extra risk for an opportunity to win more, you may want to try Double Double Bonus Poker. Since it has bonus hands, it's fair to compare Double Double Bonus Poker to Jacks or Better regarding payouts. Generally, the payouts for these specific hands are higher in the former. Researching this variant should begin with checking information about Jacks or Better because there's much more info about this variant, which serves as a basis for Double Double Bonus Poker. Consider your hand strength and current balance before risking your winnings in the double-or-nothing or quadruple-or-nothing bonus features. Poker
