triple bonus video poker is basically a three hand video poker game that can be played free in certain casinos. The strategy employed here is similar to jacks or better video poker.

Like most video poker games, you will be dealt 5 cards from a 52-card deck by the dealer or the machine. You can choose to keep all the 5 cards or discard any of the cards or all of them. If you have discarded any card, you will receive a replacement at the draw. The payout for a winning hand is made after the machine verifies if you have a winning hand. When you have decided which cards to discard and which ones to keep, you have to press the ‘hold’ button on the video screen, followed by the ‘draw’ button. In certain cases, the hold and draw buttons are combined. When you have pressed the draw button, you will receive your payout if you have a winning hand. The winning hand is shown on the video screen. In certain machines, though, the winning hand is not displayed. In such cases, check the pay structure to determine a winning hand. Your strategy should focus on making the best possible winning hand and the hands are played based on their corresponding payouts displayed on your screen. It is recommended that you find out the pay line of the winning cards before you start playing.
