Video poker game strategy can be learned by studying charts or using a video poker strategy program. After a while you learn all the situations and the best play for each draw. Your results won't necessarily be immediate, but your chances to win will increase. There are lots of different variations of video poker, make sure that you study the right strategy for the right game. If you play different versions of the game you'll have to learn each strategy.

Online video poker offers a wide variety of game types and variations. Each game has its own strategy which will put you in a playing situation that will return 99% or better over a long amount of play. The best site that I’ve found that has tons of information on video poker strategy is the Wizard of Odds. This site covers all the games and how to play each properly.

You should always play the maximum number of coins that you can so you get the better playing odds from the big payouts on the big hands. Another tip is to only play the double-up feature if you’re looking to maximize return and play with a high volatility. Stay away from it if you want to play as long as possible, or if you’re on a 100%+ game. It’s your call. And always play at levels that your bankroll can handle.

1. Video poker is the only game where you can get a positive gambling situation.

2. Progressive jackpots can put you on easy street for the rest of your life.

3. Playing optimum strategy can put you at near-even playing odds.

4. You don’t have to play with other players or a dealer. No one will see your mistakes.

5. You rarely have to wait for a machine to play on, unlike a regular poker table.

6. They’re easy to play once you learn optimum strategy for that game.

7. Playing video poker is a good way to earn comps from the casino for freebies.

8. You can get out of the game whenever you want to, unlike a poker tournament.

9. New bonus games have fun bonus rounds that are more interactive.

10. You can play multi-hand versions where you play as many as 100 hands at once.

Head over to the Bodog online casino and try out one of their 16 different video poker games.

1. Play in games small enough so your bankroll will last more than a few hands.

2. Search out good slot or video poker machines with higher payout percentages.

3. Play games with the biggest progressive jackpots in the casino.

4. Stick to bets with better playing odds. Keep the house edge against you as low as possible.

5. Take advantage of every comp you can, your money will go further and give you more chances.

6. Learn every gaming edge you can. Study game strategy and advantage play.

7. Play in satellite events that can get you into a big money tournament.

8. Walk away when you’re up money so your playing bankroll can grow.

9. Believe that you can win the big one and envision it happening.

10. Leave the casino when it’s not your day. Don’t try to win back losses when your luck is running bad.
