Back in the seventies something exciting hit the casino floor and that was video poker.  Everyone flocked to the casino scene and was indulging in this game. Video poker has only become more popular over the years and is now a casino favourite. It is also one of my favourites and my Friday nights are usually spent on the couch logging onto Llanbikefest casino and enjoying this game for hours on end.

If you are a gambler who wants a game to enjoy by yourself, one with high winnings and a low house edge, then you have hit the jackpot when it comes to video poker.  Firstly forget all the myths and old wives tales you may have heard about this game because that is just what they are! You have to use some strategy when you play and unless you are willing to learn it, this game won’t work for you.

A player should never draw five cards if they get a jack or better and one should never hold a kicker when they are holding a pair. Players should also wager slowly during this game to build up their credit balance instead of losing it. There is no need to rush when you play; taking your time always gives better results. Don’t ever draw four cards if you are able to draw three to a flush. When you are playing on a progressive machine you should always bet a maximum amount of money to win the royal flush, this payout will be very high.

You should learn to read the pay table and understand it before you play. The window explains this well and with online casinos the rules are always there for you to read. So learn your strategy and stick to it as this is the way to bring in the money. By following a strategy you can drastically lower the house edge.

Now if you take a bit of fun from the slots and mix it with a dash of the thrill of video poker you will get… Reel Play Poker -Jacks or Better. This superb game at Llanbikefest Casino has an interactive 5-reel, 20 pay line video slot and has a hold button so players can easily deal their cards. You simply hit the deal button when you’re ready to bet, and then select your cards and spin.

The graphics in this game are really genuine and the 52 card deck really looks authentic since it resembles an actual deck of poker cards. The object of the game pretty much works like the game of poker where one has to make up winning combinations with their cards. The winning line or lowest hand that you will need in order to win is a pair of Jacks. As the name of the game itself states, you need a jack or better to win.

If you are a smart player and get a better hand then you will receive a staggering payout. For the masters of these games a Royal Flush would put a super huge smile on their face because it’s said to pay up to 8000 coins. The jackpots in this game are quite massive and are up to a $16000 payout in a single game. In my opinion it’s really a game of skill but with splendid rewards.

After playing this game I suddenly felt like I was a high roller who has been playing for years. It is quite fun to be able to play two games in one. Yet you get a thrill like you’re playing a completely new game. I think Reel Play Poker – Jacks or Better Video Poker Slot definitely gets the better of you. Try it out at Llanbikefest Casino.
