GTSpins Poker
2,400+ slots from 38 studios. Progressive jackpots and fast e-wallet payouts.
Sit down at a poker table online and you choose between two different games. One puts you against a screen and a random number generator. The other streams a real dealer and real opponents to your screen in real time. GTSpins online poker covers the first kind, with a video poker library that ranges from the beginner staple Jacks or Better through to wild-card variants that shift the odds in your favour or against you, depending on the game. Spend a session with GTSpins poker and you'll notice the controls stay the same across every variant: place your stake, hit deal, hold the cards worth keeping, then draw.
Popular Poker Variations at GTSpins
Video poker is a self-contained game, no live dealer, no other players. That leaves room for developers to experiment with the rules, and GTSpins carries several variants, each with a different paytable and house edge.
Jacks or Better
Jacks or Better is the version most players learn first, and for good reason. The name comes from the lowest winning hand: a pair of Jacks. Everything above that pair pays out on a fixed scale, and the paytable is easy to read at a glance. Odds stay favourable compared to trickier variants, which is why GTSpins lists it as a solid starting point for anyone new to video poker.
Deuces Wild
Deuces Wild uses a standard 52-card deck, but all four Twos act as wild cards. Swap a Deuce into any hand and you can complete a Flush, a Straight, or better. Four Deuces ranks second only to a Royal Flush, and even Three of a Kind pays out. Because the wilds boost your odds of winning by a wide margin, the payouts on each hand run lower than Jacks or Better to balance the house edge.
Joker Poker
Add a Joker to the standard deck and you get Joker Poker, also known as Joker's Wild. The Joker acts as a wild card, and the lowest paying hand moves up to Kings or Better. A Five of a Kind hand sits just below a Natural Royal Flush (one with no wild cards involved), and a Straight Flush ranks third. GTSpins runs the 7/5 version, which pays out more than the 6/5 alternative found at some casinos.
Tens or Better
Tens or Better follows the same deck and hand rankings as Jacks or Better, but the lowest winning hand drops to a pair of Tens. That change means smaller, more frequent wins rather than the occasional big payout. Full House pays six times your stake and Flush pays five times, against nine and six in Jacks or Better, which is why this version goes by the name 6/5 Jacks or Better.
Bonus Poker
Bonus Poker keeps the Jacks or Better hand rankings but pays out more for Four of a Kind hands. Land four Aces and you'll collect 80 times your stake in the full-pay 8/5 version. GTSpins also carries the 7/5 variant, and if you enjoy the bonus structure here, Double Bonus Poker builds on the same idea with an even steeper payout curve for Four of a Kind.
Aces and Faces
Aces and Faces builds on Jacks or Better by boosting payouts for Four of a Kind hands made up of Aces or Face Cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings). In the standard 8/5 version, Four Aces outranks a Straight Flush, paying 80 to 1 rather than 50 to 1, and a set of Four Face Cards returns 40 to 1. GTSpins also offers 7/6 and 7/5 versions of the game if you want to compare paytables.
Tips for Playing Poker at GTSpins
A few habits keep a video poker session on track, whether you're trying it for the first time or testing a new variant.
Try Different Strategies
Video poker rewards a bit of homework. Learning which cards to hold and which to discard in each variant changes your results over a session, and switching strategies keeps the game fresh. No strategy guarantees a win, though; the outcome of each hand still comes down to the random draw.
Check the Paytable Before You Play
The same game name can hide different odds. Jacks or Better at 9/6 pays out more than the 6/5 version, and Bonus Poker at 8/5 beats the 7/5 game. Check the paytable on each GTSpins poker title before you commit your stake, the same way you'd check the RTP on a slot.
Set Limits Before You Start
Video poker plays fast and it's a solo game, so it's easy to lose track of time or spend more than planned. Set a budget and a time limit before your session begins. If you notice frustration creeping in, walk away, even if you haven't hit either limit yet. GTSpins links to BeGambleAware and GamStop from every page if you want extra support setting those limits.
