It is not often that video poker players at online casinos dominate the winners’ lists. That has customarily been the prerogative of online slots. However on July 9 there was a spate of winners at some of the innovative video poker variants at Roxy Palace online casino. Prior to that, a player named Lionel V won $8,256 on July 6 wagering on the standard video poker variant Jacks or Better. Even though there are no add on features in Jacks or Better, it is the most popular video poker variant. The reason is that its optimum strategy is well known and it offers very high average returns.

The first of the July 9 winners at Roxy Palace online casino was Richard D. He won €3,775 wagering on a variant of video poker known as Joker Poker. Joker Poker is played with a 53-card deck, the extra card being a joker. The joker can be used as a wild card to make the highest possible video poker hand ranking, except a natural royal flush. To compensate for this the payouts begin with a pair of kings rather than a pair of jacks. The highest video poker win was achieved by Nora P on Double Double Poker. The amount was €10,970. The video poker wins are not as spectacular as the online slots wins, but then players do not lose too much money playing these games. Double Double Poker follows the basic Jacks or Better structure. It is made exciting by including different types of “four of a kind” hand rankings in the payout table.

The third July 9 video poker win at Roxy Palace online casino was on Deuces Wild Level Up Poker. Eric M won an amount of €4,775. Deuces Wild Level Up Poker offers a double whammy of sorts. The Deuces Wild variant allows the deuces to be used as twos or as wild cards depending on the advantage to the player. This variant belongs to the popular Level Up series, which is a unique format of video poker launched by the software provider Microgaming. The player plays out the first hand as usual. If he wins then he moves to the next level. The payouts at the second level are doubled. Similarly if the player keeps winning, he proceeds to the third and fourth levels with 4x and 8x the payouts respectively. If the player loses at any level, then the game ends.

Roxy Palace online casino is powered by software from Microgaming. It is licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Commission of Malta and has been certified as fair and safe by the independent accreditation agency eCOGRA.
