Texas Holdem Video Poker
Here, we have a video poker version of the Texs Hold'em game. It is totally free and you do not need to register to play. The thing we are proud of here, is that we do not insult you with pop-up adverts, we do not ask for your email and we do not spam you.
Texas Holdem background
As one of the most popular poker variants, Texas Holdem is played in online and land based casinos across the world, continuously gaining hordes of devotees ever since it first appeared on the gambling scene in the early 20th century. The game spread throughout the state of Texas like a tornado, and although extremely popular in its own birthplace, it did not reach the gambling El Dorado, Las Vegas, until the late 60s, when a group of Texan players introduced the game to the gambling community of Nevada.
Texas Holdem objective
Just like in all other forms of poker, the goal of Texas Holdem players is to win the Pot – the chips that are contributed by all the players at the table. After the Hole cards are dealt, the player can Check, Bet or Fold, or give up and lose the initial bet. The Flop cards are then dealt, followed by the Turn as soon as the new round of betting is over.
The final stage of the game begins when the River is dealt. The player who are still in the game reveal their hands and whoever has the highest ranking hand, takes the Pot.
Texas Holdem Video Poker version and its advantages
This version is considerably less stressful than an actual Texas Holdem table for two reasons – the only opponent that you have is an automated machine and the betting limits are significantly lower than at the real Texas Holdem table.
Another advantage of the Video Poker version is that the pace of the game is established by the player, which means that people who are yet to improve their Poker skills will find Texas Holdem Video Poker a perfect practising platform.
Stop Trying To Be God
If, on the other hand you are not trying to brush up on your Texas Holdem knowledge or improve your strategic skills, the Video Poker is still an optimal choice for those who are merely trying to unwind and have some fun playing a few hands of poker – and what better way to do that then with the machine doing all the heavy lifting for you, such as processing the data and ranking your hand against the payout table.
Where can I play Texas Holdem?
Stop Trying To Be Perfect
Anywhere from online gaming sites and casinos, to Atlantic City, Las Vegas Strip and literary any public place that offers Video Poker machines.
Stop Trying To Make
Of course, things were not as simple in the beginning and Golden Nugget casino was the only venue that used to offer Texas Holdem. A lot has changed since and nowadays it seems impossible that there was once a time when this game was not around every corner and under every online casino’s Video Poker category.
