General Video Poker Rules
The rules are quite simple. You are dealt 5 cards from the deck
of 52 cards (some games contain additional Jokers).
In most games, the ace can also be counted as a one (the lowest card). Wild cards can be used
as any card value that the player wishes.
You are then allowed to draw from 1 to 5 new cards. Unlike poker, where you play against other players, your goal is to make a winning hand. The video poker machine will pay you based on the value of your hand.
