Playing Video Poker at Black Diamond

Video Poker is one of the most popular games online, due in part to the simplicity. The player’s objective is to acquire the best hand possible, based on standard Poker hand values. These are generally, in descending order: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, 4 of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, 3 of a Kind, and 2 Pair. The payout amount
for each is dependant on the particular version of Video Poker played, the most basic of which is Jacks or Better. In this version, any hand containing at least a pair of Jacks wins and the higher the hand value, the higher the payout.

The Video Poker collection at Black Diamond Casino offers four variations of the game: Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker, and Deuces & Joker Poker. Those with a wild card in play have additional hand possiblities and therefore different payouts values to reflect the relevant odds. For example, Deuces & Jokers Poker has 2 wild cards, making it much easier to achieve a valued hand. Jokers & Deuces Poker at Black Diamond Casino also has the ability to produce 5 of a Kind with the wilds, and incidently offers the highest possible win of all the Video Poker games here – a hand containing 4 Deuces and a Joker wagered at max bet pays an astounding 10,000 coins!
