Hand rankings in video poker are based on rankings in table poker, but however, there are certain differences. The latter result from the fact that there are a number of special rules regarding video poker games and also a number of wild cards to be used.

Because of the advantage wild cards provide in some of the games, the lowest rank for a winning hand is higher than the lowest winning hand in games, where there are no wild cards.

The standard ranking of poker hands is below, listed from highest to lowest. All standard poker hands are made up of exactly five cards (no more, no less). The top five cards in a single suit: 10, J, Q, K, A all of the same suit. Really, a Royal Flush is just the best possible straight flush.

It is worth noting that, at times, a natural hand (a hand with no wild cards in it) may be of a higher rank compared to the respective hand, which has wild cards in it. A natural hand such as a Royal Flush may offer a larger payout than a Wild Royal Flush.

Last but not least, despite that in table poker players usually move the cards in their hand in order to form a particular order, in the case with video poker the cards may be presented on the display screen in any order. It is possible that a player may hold a Royal Flush, where the cards appear from left to right as follows: Ten, King, Queen, Ace, Jack. However, he/she will not be able to put them in the particular order. Therefore, it is extremely important for one to remain focused once the cards are dealt, so that he/she could identify a winning hand, or a potential winning hand, when such occurs.

Now, for every video poker game, which we briefly discussed in the prior two articles, we are going to present its hand rankings from the highest to the lowest, with the cards being placed in consecutive order. Note that the cards may never appear on the screen consecutively, so a good understanding of the winning hands is needed.
