Pick 'em
Poker Review
Pick
'em Poker is an online video poker game
available at
Bodog online casino. Bodog offers
both an instant version of the casino and a
download casino client, and Pick ’em Poker is
only available on the downloaded version. Bodog
offers many video poker games, and Pick ’em
Poker is an addition to the wide variety
available in the casino.
Bodog welcomes players from all
around the world, and USA players are accepted.
The layout is similar to
other video poker games offered by the
casino, and players
must play with coins. The coin denominations
vary between $0.05 and $5, and the player may
wager up to five coins per hand. The game is
played with a single deck, and the cards are
re-shuffled before each hand. The game is
available in both fun mode and real money mode;
the fun mode being ideal for players new to the
game, and want to learn how to play. This type
of poker takes a bit of getting used to for new
players, but the variation could be a much
needed change from the ordinary video poker
experience.
The object of the game
is to hold the best hand possible, but the game
is very unique compared to other video poker
games. Players must first place a wager and
press deal to start the game. Then players are
dealt two cards, and two sets of three cards.
Only the top card is revealed in the three card
sets, and players must pick which card out of
both sets they wish to hold. Once the draw
button is pressed the other set is discarded,
and the held set will reveal all cards to create
a hand and paid according to the paytable. The
paytable is also different than other video
poker games, and the hands rank form pairs of 9s
or better all the way up to the Royal Flush. The
highest payout in the game is 6,000 coins for a
Royal Flush with five coins wagered.
After each win, the
player is presented with a “Double or Nothing”
feature. This feature is optional, and players
can double their win in the game by choosing a
higher value card from the four face down
playing cards than the dealers showing card. If
won, the win is doubled and the player can
collect or continue to gamble. If the player
chooses to play this feature or chooses to
continue to gamble and is unsuccessful in the
feature, all wins made in the gamble feature and
previous wins are lost.
