Video Poker

I have been playing video poker for the last couple of years at various online casinos, I like the double up features so stick with Micro Gaming casino software and the casinos that run it. I switch between Blackjack Ballroom and The Gaming Club when I play both offer the following video poker games:

• Aces and Faces

• All aces

• Deuces and Joker

• Deuces Wild

• Double Joker

• Jacks or Better

• Joker Poker

• Tens or Better

There are multihand versions of all games, bets are from ten cents to one hundred dollars, you can double winnings five times. The Gaming Club has a 98.89% payout on video poker, which is very good, their software installs and plays fast, when you fist start to download the free casino software it will take you thru a few steps before you can play. The free casino software downloads in different stages, the fist part is about 400k this is a small installer that can be stopped and started as the bulk of the game is downloaded, its very similar to the installers that Microsoft software uses so most people should be familiar with the idea. Throw all your misconceptions out the door when it comes to casino software at least and free software you get from reputable online casinos such as The Gaming Club, it will be virus free, not do any funny business with your browser or any of the other nasty spam stuff that's floating around, similarly with your personal details and email, online casinos are some of the most secure sites on the internet, only matched by the military. Your details are actually safer than if they were held in a federal bank vault! Anyway back to the download, so far you  would of downloaded the installers and then that would of downloaded the game engine, its about 50meg. When you open the casino and login any game that you choose will be installed, these are updated from the internet and can be 5-15meg depending on the game you choose, you can download multiple games at once and you can set them to run in the background, so once you get that first game up and running any future games you want to play can just download in the back ground. Once you have installed a game it does not need to be installed again. The reasons casinos do this is because the games have lots of graphics and sound clips ( this is why the look so great ) some of these are quiet large and if you were to download every games it would be more than 500meg. So the step by step download is much better as you only get what you want. The only problem I have with the The Gaming Club is there bonus system, as they only seem to make payouts on it once a week and process these on a Monday so if you make a deposit and want your bonus from the casino you will have to wait til Monday. Compare this to Blackjack Ballroom who make there bonus payouts instantaneously to your account. But you get used to the bonus system. In the deposit area there is a button where you can contact a live support person any questions you want to ask put them here. I have always found them to be very helpful and informative.

When I play multiple hand video poker I prefer to play 10 hand Jacks or Better, and 4 hand Tens or Better. I usually lower my bet for the four hand tens or better. For me it means $12.50 for jacks or better per hand and $5 for tens or better per hand. You can play from 10 cents a hand to $100 per hand.
