What is Video Poker?

Video Poker at JLace is a classic 5-card draw poker game that combines the strategy of traditional poker with the simplicity of slot machines. Players are dealt 5 cards and can choose which to hold or discard to form the best possible poker hand. The goal is to create winning combinations ranging from Jacks or Better to Royal Flush.

Unlike live poker, Video Poker is played against the house using a standard 52-card deck with random number generator (RNG) certification ensuring fair outcomes. With optimal strategy, Video Poker offers some of the highest RTP rates in online casinos, often reaching 99%+ for skilled players.

JLace Video Poker features smooth gameplay, intuitive controls, and instant payouts directly to your GCash or PayMaya wallet within 5-18 minutes.
