The following is an explanation on a winning
video poker hand.
Royal Straight Flush This is the highest
hand possible in a natural game, and it does not use any wild
cards. It consists of the Ace-King-Queen-Jack-10 all of the
same suit.
Straight Flush This is the second ranking
hand its similar to the royal straight flush, however you
can use any five cards of one suit that are in a row. For
example the 2 of Spades through the 6 of spades would be a
straight flush.
Four of a Kind The next highest ranking
is four of one card. Four aces would be the best in this ranking
sequence, going downward to four 2's being the lowest.
Full House Often referred to as the boat
its made up of one three of a kind and one pair. Three Aces
with a pair of Kings is the highest possible full house. If
you had three Queens and a pair of 6's it would be declared
as Queens over 6's. Full houses always list the three of a
kind prior to the pair.
Flush A flush consists of any five cards
that are of the same suit. These cards do not have to be in
a row to qualify as a flush, they only have to be of the same
suit. For instance, a 2-Jack-6-9-Ace of spades would be a
flush.

| Straight This hand is made
by five cards, which are in a row numerically. The cards do
not need to be of the same suit. The highest achievable straight
is Ace-King-Queen-Jack-10.
Three of a Kind Often called Trips, because
of the triple use of a card. This hand consists of any three
cards, which are of the same numerical value but not of the
same suit. A hand with three aces is the highest set of trips.
Two Pairs This is a hand consisting of two
sets of two cards each, which match numerically. For example
10-10-8-8.
One Pair The second lowest ranking hand
you could possibly get is a single pair. This hand is made
up of two cards, which are of the same numerical value.
High Card In some instances the winning
hand may be determined by the rank of a single card. The highest
card is the Ace. If more than one person is holding an Ace
the second highest card would decide the winner ... then the
third card etc. |
