VIPcasinos proudly presents Five Card Draw video poker--one of the most fun options in the world of internet casino poker. The player is dealt five cards face up, and decides which to keep and which to discard. The dealer replaces the number of cards discarded, and the player is left with a final five-card hand. The objective is to have a five-card hand that will beat the dealer's hand in value.

As with the traditional version, internet casino poker uses a rank system to determine the winning hand. From high to low, the rank is: Five of a kind, Straight Flush, Four of a kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, Pair, and High Card. The Royal Flush is the highest natural hand in poker, and is comprised of a Straight Flush (five cards of the same suit and in numerical order) with aces high.

The betting system is vital to poker, and it's best to understand the nuances of this system prior to playing internet casino poker. There are several basic mistakes any beginner can make. For the novice, it's better to play single hand poker rather than multiple hand.

The basic betting system is comprised of the call, the raise, and the fold. When you call, you are betting enough to match the original bet. A raise is when you match the set bet and then increase the bet to a higher amount. A fold is when you drop your hand, thereby losing the ability to win but also exempting yourself from throwing money into the pot. With internet casino poker from VIPcasinos, you can have all the fun of poker--in your living room!
