Playing Video Poker at Black Diamond

From the casino lobby, select Video Poker from the list on the left to bring up the Video Poker variations available for play. Before entering any of these, you can simply highlight each version to be presented with game descripition and details. Choose from the wildly popular Jacks or Better, Joker Poker, Deuces Wild, or the game with the highest possible payout of all – Deuces and Joker Poker, where a hand containing four deuces and a joker awards an astounding 10,000 coins on a max bet!

After making your selection, the game loads quickly and you’ll be ready to begin play. The layout for each of the video poker variations is player friendly with clearly marked options for wager and play. The pay table is boldly displayed just above the play area so that hand values and pay outs are constantly visible during play.

To begin each hand, set the amount of wager by using the +/- to select the coin size. You have the ability to wager 1-5 coins per hand by clicking the ‘Bet One’ button until the desired number of coins is reached. Raising or lowering the number of coins wagered per hand can also be done using the pay table, by clicking the appropriate column. Coin values start out at $.05 and go all the up to $5.00, giving a wide range of possible wagering, with a minimum available bet of $.05 (one coin at smallest coin size) and a maximum possible wager of $25.00 (5 coins at highest coin size) per hand.

Once you’ve set the desired wager, click ‘Deal’ to receive 5 cards. The software will automatically hold the the most potentially advantageous cards, however the cards you keep are ultimately up to you. You may hold or unhold any card either by clicking on the ‘Hold’ button beneath each, or by clicking on the card itself. When you are satisfied with your choices, click on ‘Draw’ to discard the unwanted cards and receive new cards to replace them. The hand is now complete and you will be paid according to the pay table for any winning combination.
