All American Video Poker

All American (Five Hand) video poker is a hugely successful variant of the game from Arrow’s Edge that is based upon the traditional Jacks or Better video poker game. It is very similar to Jacks or Better but offers larger payouts for flushes, straights and straight flushes but slightly reduced payouts for full houses and two pairs. Better still, this enjoyable game gives players the chance to Double Up after every win and it also offers a huge progressive jackpot which can be won at any time.

All American video poker is very easy to get to grips with. First players need to set their bet per hand using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ symbols either side of the field. It is also possible to use ‘Bet One’ and ‘Bet Max’ buttons to quickly bet one coin per hand or the maximum bet per hand. Players can also decide whether they want to see all five hands displayed or just one. Then players click on ‘Deal’ and their five card poker hand is dealt. Players then need to click on any cards in the hand that they wish to hold and then click on ‘Draw’. The other cards are then replaced and any poker hands and their payouts are calculated. Players can then click on ‘Rebet’ to place the same bet again. After a successful hand players have the choice between clicking on ‘Collect’ and ‘Double. ‘Collect’ will return the winnings to the player’s balance while ‘Double’ takes players to a game where they need to try and pick a card higher than the one shown in order to double the payout.

All American video poker has coin sizes ranging from $0.02 up to $20 and players can bet anything from one coin up to five coins on each hand. This means that there is a minimum bet of $0.10 and a maximum bet of $100 per round. When betting one coin per hand Jacks or Better pays out 1 coin, Two Pair pays out 1 coin, 3 of a Kind pays out 3 coins, a Straight, Flush and Full House pay out 8 coins, 4 of a Kind pays out 20 coins, a Straight Flush pays out 200 coins and a Royal Flush pays out 800 coins. When betting more than one coin these numbers are simply multiplied by the number of coins being bet.

As mentioned this version of All American video poker has a Double Up feature which gives players the chance to play a small game after any winning hand to try and double the payout. Better still it is possible to keep playing this game and double the win many times over. However, players should be aware that if they make one wrong guess then all winnings will be lost. In addition to the Double Up feature the game is also linked to a huge progressive jackpot. The jackpot is won at random after any round, even when the round only contains losing hands. Furthermore, it is possible to win regardless of the bet being placed so even those placing the smallest bet could still win a huge amount of money.
