Five cards land, and you choose which ones to hold. That's the whole mechanic, and it explains why video poker keeps a devoted crowd even in a lobby packed with reel-based pokies. SpeedAU runs a decent spread of these machines, from Jacks or Better through to multi-hand variants where four or ten boards run at once. Below you'll find how the SpeedAU poker range holds up, the steps to get your first hand dealt, and the five titles that pull the most action in this category.
Video poker sits between a pokie and a card game. You receive five cards from a single deck, decide which to hold, then draw replacements for the rest. Payouts run off a fixed table, so you win by reading the paytable rather than bluffing anyone. SpeedAU's poker section pulls titles from a handful of studios, and the mix leans toward the classic single-hand format over newer 3D takes on the genre. There's no live-dealer poker variant here, so live-dealer fans should check the Live Casino section instead.
