Here is a list of some of the most popular variations video poker.

Deuces Wild

In this version of video poker the all twos can substitute any other card in the deck to complete a poker hand. Deuces Wild is probably the most popular video poker game, because at some payouts, when played with perfect strategy at full-pay, theoretical return can be as high as 100.8%.

Jack or Better

This is the most common version of video poker you will find, and the best game to begin with if you are a novice player. You may also see full-pay Jacks or Better referred to as 9/6 Jacks or Better. Payout begins at a pair of jacks or higher value cards. With optimum strategy theoretical return is 99.5%.

Tens or Better

This game is similar to Jacks or Better, but payout begins at a pair of tens or better, and the full house and flush payouts differ significantly from the above VP game.

Double Bonus

A variation of Jacks or Better with a bonus payout for four aces. A full-pay game at the best payout, 10/7 (for full house and flush respectively) has a theoretical return of 100.2 % when played with perfect strategy. Often, however, payouts will be slightly less advantageous (10/6 or even 9/6), so keep an eye out for the right machines!

Double Double Bonus

Another similar variation of Jacks or Better, except you get a bonus payout for different types of four of a kind. At the best payouts a full-pay game has a theoretical return of 100.1% when played with perfect strategy.
