The rules of video poker can vary from machine to machine, although the basics are largely universal. Once you have inserted a coin into the machine, you will need to press a deal button in order to be dealt 5 cards.

You may then choose the cards you would like to keep and press deal again in order to be dealt new cards to replace those you didn’t choose to keep. If you end up with a winning hand, you will receive a payout. The amount of the payout will depend on the strength of your hand as well as the specific payout ratio of the machine you are playing.

What constitutes a winning hand will not be the same for every video poker machine. Most commonly, a pair of Jacks or better should lead to a payout. Payouts may also differ depending on the number of credits you bet on each hand. Each machine you come across should list any particular rules and payouts it features, so be sure to check them out before playing.
