Video rules
Video ruless are a relatively modern invention, a merger of sorts between traditional rules and slot machines. A video rules game is a contest between the player and the machine. The dealer (the machine) will deal the player two hands of five cards each. When the player receives his first hand he must decide which cards to hold (keep) or discard. The objective is to finish the game with the strongest hand possible. The payout at the end of the game is dependent on the value of the hand the player is holding. Often the player is offered a further opportunity to increase his winnings by participating in a Doubling phase.
