Video Poker Types
It should be highlighted that there are several variations of videopoker. First type is multi-hand video poker. Its key difference is that a player has several lines displayed on the screen (various video poker machines have this number ranging from 3 to 100). Every payline is active.
Initially video poker machine deals cards to one line, you can select which cards to keep and they would be held on the rest of the paylines. Paylines are randomly dealt remaining cards. The main advantage for player is that in case of getting, let's say four of a kind on the main payline, he/she will receive four of a kind on the remaining paylines and is going to win a bank proportional to the number of paylines.
