The House Edge in Video Poker Online Explained
The house edge in video poker online is a percentage that represents the casino’s expected profit from every bet you place over time. It’s known as a ‘built-in advantage’. Hold up! Don’t let that put you off. Unlike some other casino games, video poker gives you a fair crack at reducing this edge with a bit of skill and strategy.
In video poker, the house edge can vary wildly from game to game, and it’s heavily influenced by the paytable and the choices you make while playing. If you play your cards right (see what we did there?), you can actually find games where the edge is so low, the casino could technically be sponsoring your Sixty60 deliveries.
Now, you might be wondering, “How do I find these lekker games?” It’s all in the paytables, folks. Games with more generous payouts for hands like full houses or flushes tend to have a lower house edge. Also, throwing in a good strategy can tilt the odds in your favour.
So, when you’re browsing through the sleek selection of video poker online at Thunderbolt Casino, go check out those paytables. On that note, let’s dive into the electrifying world of Thunderbolt’s video poker online offerings and find out how you can show that house edge who’s boss!
An Edgy Comparison – Video Poker at Thunderbolt
Like comparing Steers with Nando’s – both are flame-grilled, yet the one is chicken and the other mostly beef – there are similarities in video poker online (that we’ll talk about later). In this edgy comparison, we’re going to check out how these games stack up in terms of giving you a fighting chance against the house (us!):
- Deuces Wild offers one of the best opportunities to diminish the house edge with the right strategy, thanks to the wild 2s. It's a fan favourite for those looking to maximise their return.

- Aces & Eights offers a unique payout structure for four-of-a-kind Aces or Eights, providing an opportunity to achieve a lower house edge with targeted strategy.
- Bonus Poker offers enhanced payouts for four-of-a-kind hands, allowing knowledgeable players to exploit these bonuses to decrease the house edge.

- Double Jackpot Poker focuses on rewarding specific four-of-a-kind hands with higher payouts, presenting an attractive proposition for players aiming to reduce the house edge.

- All American Poker distinguishes itself with a different payout structure, where strategic decisions can significantly impact the house edge.
- Jacks or Better is the go-to for purists and beginners alike, offering a straightforward way to learn strategy and gradually diminish the house edge.
- Double Bonus Poker and Sevens Wild further diversify the portfolio, each with unique rules that, when mastered, offer the potential to slash the house edge.
