Pick 'Em Poker

Pick ‘Em Poker is a Video Poker game which is a modified version of the Jacks or Better paytable, but uses a unique game system. Unlike other Video Poker games, when the player places a wager playing Pick ‘Em Poker only 4 cards will be dealt. The two cards on the left are non-changeable and are part of the final hand. The player is then given the choice to keep one of the two cards on the right. After the player has selected the card that they will keep, the other card is removed and two new cards are dealt to complete the hand.

Online we’ve only found Pick ‘Em Poker at casinos using Playtech and RealTime Gaming software. The paytables we’ve seen is displayed below;

Some notes on the tables below;

- We’ve included both the 5 coin House Edge and the House Edge when playing 1-4 coins. The House Edge for 1-4 coins are the same and as such only one figure is listed. To find the house edge/paytable for 2-4 coins just multiple the 1 coin figure by the number of coins.
