Video Poker Jackpots

Online jackpot video poker is a fast-paced game, much like slots. One big difference, though, is that there is some serious strategy involved in playing video poker, as you decide what cards to keep and what cards to spin away. Even so, playing for the progressive jackpot with these kinds of machines is risky business, because most of them require you to win on a max bet in order to take home the jackpot. That means you should wait until the prize is big enough for you to at least break even after a few dozen good spins, otherwise you will end up worse off than before.

The winning spin on a progressive jackpot video poker game can come one of two ways - some machines pay out the progressive jackpot when you spin a Royal Flush on a max bet spin, while others require you to spin a very specific Royal Flush in order to get paid the big bucks. But the strategies are basically the same whatever the winning combination is. Video poker jackpots don't climb as high as, say, online slots jackpots, but they are still worth playing for!

There are lots of strategies out there for video poker, but the biggest tips we can offer are bet max, play slow, and keep your jacks, which can actually provide better hands in this game than aces do. Good luck!
