Video Poker Real Money

Video poker is often an underrated game in South Africa.

However, there is still plenty of excitement - not to mention decent wins - to be had by playing video poker in South African casinos. In our guide, we will introduce you to some of the best video poker games you can play in South Africa. If you are ready to begin, start reading to discover a world of exciting, if simple casino games.

Playing Video Poker in South Africa

There will be (at any one time) between ten and fifteen video poker games in South Africa’s best online casinos. Sometimes this number is a lot higher, and on occasion, there may be as few as five or so. However, for the most part, you are going to find plenty of different video poker options to play at South African casinos. Most top providers have dished out a few titles, and we are going to look at some of the better ones right here.

South Africa’s Best Video Poker Games

Before we begin our countdown, we should explain that not every South African casino will carry all these games. Some are only available if you play titles from specific providers. However, all can be played for free, which is excellent if you want to get some practice in before you bet.

So, what video poker games in South African casinos can you expect to see? Let us start exploring the most popular ones below:

Jacks or Better

The most basic variant that you can play, Jacks or Better is a low variance game, where the lowest paying combination you can land is worth a Pair of Jacks, as its name suggests. The conventional poker hands apply in this game, and no wild cards are included.

Deuces Wild

Nip over to Deuces Wild, and you will find that all 2s act as wild cards. This means that non-conventional poker hands, such as a Wild Royal Flush, and a Five-of-a-Kind are now possible. There is also a special bonus payout if you land four-of-a-kind (in deuces).

Deuces and Joker

This game uses a 53-card deck, consisting of all the usual cards, and a single joker. While all the unofficial hands can appear in this game, Deuces and Joker is one of the few video poker games to feature a better paying combo than a Royal Flush. Land four 2s and a joker to bag the top prize.

Jokers Wild

As its name suggests, Jokers Wild is another 53-card game, with a single wild card woven into the deck. The difference between this and other video poker games in South Africa is that the lowest paying hand will be a Pair of Kings, Pair of Aces, or a Two Pair, depending on the variant you play.

Loose Deuces

Loose Deuces is a decent video poker game in South Africa because it offers you a bonus payout for specific combinations. Land four deuces (four twos) and you can walk away with a top jackpot prize, which is amongst the best of any video poker game for that hand.

Multi-Hand Video Poker

Multi-hand video poker games can see you wager on up to 100 hands (at times) at once. The first cards you are dealt will be the same in all your hands. However, the cards you receive for those you swapped out will differ from hand to hand. Naturally, this game costs a bit more to play than others.

Bonus Poker

Bonus Poker (as well as Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Bonus, and others) is designed as a basic video poker game, albeit one which provides additional payouts for certain hands. You can check out the value of these hands on the paytable on each game.

Tens or Better

Tens or Better is not really any different from Jacks or Better. However, it does allow you to win with a Pair of Tens, instead of a Pair of Jacks. However, this does not alter the payouts too much, which is something worth considering if you are looking for a new video poker game to play.

All American Video Poker

A standard 52-card deck is used to play All American Video Poker. Ultimately, the game is nearly identical to Jacks or Better, although it uses an American-themed deck, and offers a few different payouts for specific combinations, such as the Royal Flush.

Aces and Eights

This video poker offers additional payouts for combinations of aces and eights. You can bag these wins if you land a Four-of-a-Kind of aces, eights, or sevens. In most other ways, Aces and Eights is similar to Jacks or Better.
