Strategy and Tips

Welcome to the strategy and tips section, the place where you’ll learn one or two tips on playing video poker, as well as the odds when playing. You’ve probably heard this a million times throughout MrsVidepoker.com, but please don’t forget to bookmark us and visit us often for the best experiences playing video poker online.

The first tip is to select the online casino that suits you best, the one with the deal you’re most interested in – Obvious, right? It may be but the amount of people who just dive straight in without taking a look is why we have to make these sites simple and easy to use, whilst explaining everything in such great detail. Make sure you do your homework, read all of our reviews, and check out the look and feel of the sites we recommend and sign up to them. Don’t just dive straight in with the first one you find, be sure to take your time – this actually goes for any casino game you’re thinking of playing.

Okay, you’ve selected which website meets your every need (and desires, such as bonuses, free games, customer service and anything else you feel is important when selecting a video poker site), what you now need to do is choose the particular Video Poker game that pays the best, but is also fun! Don’t forget that you’re playing to have fun too – nobody wants to ‘play’ something without having fun! Remember the old saying (well, I think it could be an old saying!); if you’re having fun then you’re more likely to be successful! Basically, if you’re enjoying your video poker then the money will come naturally with experience and time.

Another essential tip I can give you is if you’re not comfortable playing with real money; don’t! There’s nothing to be afraid of, start out with free games and build your confidence, experience and ability up to a level where you’re happier to part with your hard earned cash in the hope of winning more back.

The odds on Video Poker vary massively depending on what variation of the game you play. That’s why it’s very difficult for Mrs. Video Poker to provide a specific odds sheet or strategy, however; we have made a quick table below for you giving you a ball-park idea of what kind of odds you’re playing against in terms of accumulating particular hands. Use these odds to your advantage, now you know the odds you’re probably up against, you can start working out further equations as you get more experienced.
