5 cards are dealt from a standard 52 card deck (Exception: Games that include a Joker as a wild card have more than 52 cards)

The auto-hold feature, when enabled will provide suggestions as to which cards to keep
Note that there is a difference between basic and perfect strategy in video poker. This feature is based on the basic strategies for each game.
All 5 cards may be discarded if desired
Select 'Draw' when satisfied with the choice(s)
For each hand played, a unique deck of cards minus the held cards is used to draw replacements for discards
This means that the discards are shuffled back into the deck prior to the draw
Discards that are re-dealt to a hand pay a bonus
Each hand is dealt randomly from a different virtual deck of cards in multi-hand variants
Hand values corresponding to paytable values will be paid at the end of the game round
Card values for the Double Up Bonus Game are randomly determined
