Risk Category D, moderate risk

House edge 0.46 Variance for Jacks or Better 4.42 (varies from game to game, this is about the lowest).

Video Poker has a similar house edge to Blackjack, but a much higher variance and therefore the chance of gain is much lower for the same WR. This means that although the EV of an offer will be very similar for either game, there is a much higher chance of a big loss or a big win on Video Poker. As with Blackjack it is getting harder to find Casino bonuses which allow Video Poker, and it may count for less than 100% per unit staked. Even so it can be worth doing Video Poker offers, particularly if you can automate it by using autoplay.

There is a video demonstrating autoplay on video poker at Ladbrokes casino below.

Select number of coins to maximum and the value of the coin to the minimum before you start as this will maximize your winnings while reducing the variance as much as possible.

As with Blackjack, there are a multitude of varieties of the game, each with its own house edge and variance. There is a detailed explanation of the game and the differences between the varieties and different softwares here.
