In addition to the online card games variety of poker there are also many types of online video poker games that you can play. Video poker is like a slot machine game but instead of playing with symbols you are playing 5 card draw poker with cards. You are dealt 5 cards and you need to make a qualifying poker hand. You can hold cards and redraw to get a hand that will payout the odds shown on the paytable.

Poker has been around in one form or another since the beginning of the 19th century, and it is widely thought that several older games such as Bragg, Nas and Poca are the main influences. It was played originally in the southern areas of the USA and spreading into the card game we know today.

Variants from this original game were born along three main themes. Draw Poker, Stud Poker and Community Card Poker are the variants in use today and the many different types of poker games will use one of these variant themes.

Stud Poker - In stud poker you receive your cards one at a time, some face down and some face up and visible to your opponents. You make the best hand out of the cards you receive and bet accordingly. The cards you receive cannot be changed.

Draw Poker - Players will receive their cards face down. You then have the opportunity to change (draw) cards with the pack a specified number of times to make the best poker hand possible.

Community Card Poker - Each player will recieve a specified number of cards face down. There will then be a specified number of cards dealt face up which are known as community cards and are used by all players. The aim is to make the best poker hand using your "hidden" cards and the community cards.
