Best Bitcoin Video Poker Games

The first and most important thing to learn when it comes to playing computer-generated Bitcoin poker is the different hands. Here are some of the hands that the game consists of:

• Royal Flush – five cards of the same suit in consecutive order from Ace to 10
• Straight flush – five cards of the same suit in consecutive order from 8 to 4
• Flush – five cards of the same suit in any order
• Straight – five cards of different suits in consecutive order
• Four of a Kind – four cards of the same value in a five-card hand
• Three of a Kind – three cards of the same value in a five-card hand
• Full House – Three of a Kind plus a matching Pair
• Two Pair – two pairs in the hand
• Pair – one matching pair in a hand

Players are encouraged to take the time to shop around and find the best possible Bitcoin video poker platform before playing. Different casinos offer different features, but a decent game will offer high-quality graphics, speedy payouts and the ability to play anonymously from any country in the world without the need to register for an account. The most important thing to look for, however, is provable fairness.

The casino hosting the video poker game should have an in-built random number generator within its server to assure that the game plays out in an entirely fair and random way. The vast majority of Bitcoin video poker sites are provably fair and it is easy to find out whether or not this is the case. If the poker platform is not provably fair then it is worth giving it a miss and looking elsewhere. Another thing to look out for is the return to player rate. The RTP of video poker should be around 99%.

The different variations of video poker were mentioned earlier, here are some of the most common options around:

Jacks or Better is by far the most popular version for virtual gamblers. Jacks or Better has an RTP of 99.5% and is the form of poker that most new players start out with. This is a great place to begin as the rules are clear and there is a pretty low variance.

Another option is Aces and Eights which includes three additional pays. Winning hands in this variation are formed by Four of a Kind Aces, eights or sevens. Players who begin their video poker career by playing Jacks or Better tend to transition to Aces and Eights easily as the games share a similar variance.

Deuces Wild is an exciting form of video poker which turns all the deuces in the deck wild. This means that every deuce (a 2 in any suit) can be substituted for all other ranks and suits. Obviously this makes it much easier to win big, so the payout rates tend to be lower on Deuces Wild to balance out the house edge.

Each one of the popular poker variations listed above, as well as the many other forms of the game, comes complete with its own strategy which can help players to maximise their winning potential. Then there are non-specific strategies which apply to Bitcoin video poker in general.

To use one of these winning formulae, participants of the poker game have must take the time to look up all reasonable ways to play a hand once it has been dealt to them. There is no shortage of strategy charts online which clearly lay out the best moves for each hand. This can be quite a time-consuming way to play the game, but can yield some impressive wins when used correctly with a proven optimal chart.

As we mentioned above, there are two options when it comes to finding a strategy chart; players can pick one which has been tailor-made for the version of video poker they are playing or use a more generic version which applies to all video poker games. There are plenty of easy-to-find charts online in both of these categories, all of which list out the moves players should make for each hand they are dealt.

Finding a decent strategy table and sticking to it is the most effective way to succeed in Bitcoin video poker. Players should keep the table open and refer to it as they play, rather than try to remember it, as the better strategies will probably become quite complex at some times.

Summary

Anyone looking for a casino game that really utilizes Bitcoin and its benefits should consider giving video poker a go. These games are fair, fun and, most importantly, give bettors the opportunity to win big (especially when a successful strategy is put into action). It is essential to find a decent casino to enjoy Bitcoin video poker at, one that is provably fair, so it is worth spending some time looking through the best options before playing. On the whole it is very easy to see why video poker has remained such a popular option for Bitcoin gamblers.
