Casino video poker is any online video poker played in a casino environment, be it online or offline. The rules of online casino video poker are basically the same as when playing offline, but the online game has a number of advantages over its traditional cousin.
• The first advantage of online casino video poker is that you can practice for free. No regular casino will let you walk up to a video poker machine and play without investing a penny of your own cash, but almost all online casinos let you do just that. This allows you to familiarise yourself thoroughly with a game before you commit any real money.
• Online casino video poker can be played at any time, day or night, and you can play for as short or long a period of time as you want. If you have a spare half an hour you can log onto an online casino, play and hopefully win some money. If you were restricted to playing regular casino video poker you probably wouldn’t even be able to get there in just half an hour, let alone play.
• Physical video poker machines take up a fair amount of floor space, so there is obviously a limit to the number of games that can be made available in any given offline casino. This isn’t the case with online casino video poker machines, and online players therefore get to enjoy a much wider choice of games.
There are doubtless many other advantages of playing online casino video poker that we haven’t mentioned here (how about those tasty deposit bonuses and progressive jackpots?) but it’s evident from the points made above that online video poker has a great deal going for it and is going to be popular for a long time to come.
