Popular Poker Variants at Patrick Spins
Developers get creative with video poker because it's a self-contained game, and Patrick Spins stocks several variants worth knowing before you commit money to one pay table.
Deuces Wild
Deuces Wild uses a standard 52-card deck, but all four Twos act as wild cards, substituting for whatever card completes your hand. Four Deuces sits second only to a Royal Flush on the pay chart, and Three of a Kind pays the lowest amount on the table. The wilds inflate your odds of winning, so Patrick Spins' version of Deuces Wild trims the payouts elsewhere to balance the house edge. Look for the Not-So-Ugly Deuces Wild variant if you want a better pay table.
Jacks or Better
Jacks or Better is where you'll probably start if video poker's new to you, and Patrick Spins runs a clean version of it. A pair of Jacks is the lowest hand that pays out, which gives the game its name. The pay table is easy to read, and the discard strategy behind each hand is straightforward enough to learn in a single session.
Tens or Better
Tens or Better swaps the pay structure: a pair of Tens becomes your lowest winning hand instead of Jacks, so you win more often for smaller amounts. Patrick Spins lists this as a 6/5 game, meaning Full House pays six times your stake and Flush pays five times, against 9 and 6 in Jacks or Better. Win the bonus round and you double your payout, same as the standard game.
Joker Poker
Joker Poker adds a 53rd card, the Joker, which acts as a wild across the deck. Kings or Better becomes your minimum winning hand here, so more wins land than in Jacks or Better. Five of a Kind ranks just under a Natural Royal Flush, and a Straight Flush with a Joker sits third. Patrick Spins offers the 7/5 version, which pays better than the 6/5 alternative you'll find elsewhere.
Aces and Faces
Aces and Faces builds on Jacks or Better but weights Four of a Kind hands toward Aces and face cards. Four Aces pays 80 to 1 on Patrick Spins' 8/5 table, against 50 to 1 for a Straight Flush. A Four of a Kind hand made of face cards pays 40 to 1. A 7/6 version also runs on the site if you want a different balance of risk and reward.
Bonus Poker
Bonus Poker keeps the Jacks or Better hand rankings but boosts Four of a Kind payouts across the board. Four Aces returns 80 times your bet on the 8/5 full-pay table Patrick Spins runs, with a 7/5 version also on offer if you want to compare pay tables side by side.
Tips for Playing Poker at Patrick Spins
New game, new casino, and it's easy to make mistakes you wouldn't make with a game you already know. These habits kept my sessions in check.
Test More Than One Strategy
Different pay tables call for different approaches in video poker. Switching strategies between sessions changed both my win rate and how long my bankroll lasted. No approach guarantees a win. Poker odds don't work that way.
Check the Pay Table Before You Play
The same poker variant can carry different payouts depending on which version you load, much like RTP shifts between slot titles. Before you commit to a session, open the pay table and compare Full House and Flush payouts against the full-pay figures listed above.
Set a Limit Before You Start
Poker plays fast when it's just you against the deck, and that pace makes it easy to lose track of time and spend. Set a budget and a time limit before you load the game, and walk away the moment either one runs out, even mid-session. Patrick Spins links to BeGambleAware from every account page, and you can set deposit limits or self-exclude through GamStop if you need a firmer stop.
Video Poker vs Live Poker at Patrick Spins
Video poker and live poker both sit under the Patrick Spins poker umbrella. You might mix the two up, but they're different games, and the table below breaks down where they split.
| Feature | Live Poker | Video Poker |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Streamed live from a studio floor, or played at a physical casino if you're away from the site | Runs on Patrick Spins' RNG software, available on desktop and mobile |
| Interaction | You play against a real dealer and real opponents | Solo gameplay against the software, no other players involved |
| Speed | Slower, shaped by dealer pace and other players' decisions | You control the pace |
| Skill Level | Rewards reading opponents and understanding bluffs over time | Beginner-friendly; you have time to think through every discard |
| Randomness | A live dealer shuffles and deals under camera supervision | RNG software deals every hand, tested by independent auditors |
| Mistakes | Dealer error is rare; you might misjudge a bluff or overplay a hand | Software errors are rare, but a dropped connection can void a round, so check your WiFi before you sit down |
Explore Live Poker at Patrick Spins
Patrick Spins runs live poker tables around the clock if you want the version that plays closer to a real casino floor. The live studio adds new tables most months, so check back every few weeks. A few of the game shows in the live lobby blend poker mechanics into the usual roulette and blackjack format. The lobby runs lighter on poker tables than on blackjack and roulette, though, so you might wait for a seat during peak evening hours.
