How to play video poker

• You deposit coins into the machine to place your wager. The bet must be placed before you draw your cards, and can't be changed once play starts.
• After your bet, you push a button marked "Draw/Deal", this will result in you seeing your initial hand of five cards.
• You then decide if you wish to keep any of the cards in your hand. If you do you push the "Hold/Cancel" button under the card(s) you wish to keep. In the event you change your mind and don't wish to keep a previously held card push the "Hold/Cancel" button a second time and the hold will be canceled.
• Make sure that there is conformation on the screen that you have held the cards that you want to hold (the word "hold" flashes under your held cards).
• Press the Draw/Deal button a second time to obtain new cards for those not held.
• If you have a winning hand the machine pays off and is then ready for another game.
