There are more types of Poker games than you could probably count in a day. Many of them are smaller versions of more popular ones, others are twists from the classics, and still others are modern versions of older games that are still enjoyed by millions of players worldwide every single day. While all of these variants are not necessarily that popular, many are, and each one is quite different from the next. Each game appeases to a different type of player, and the perfect game for you is going to be the one that fits your personal style (and bankroll).
Video Poker
For a brief summary of all the various Poker games available, we could start with Video Poker. Before Poker was played online, we had Video Poker machines that were a bit similar to slot machines, although they had a different form factor most of the time. The original ones even had real decks of cards inside of them that randomly spun around to make the hands. How times have changed! Nowadays, if you hear the term Video Poker, you are probably hearing someone talking about a ‘virtual’ Video Poker game. These are styled after the older games but they generally run modern RGNs.
Table Games
Other forms of Poker that you can find online are simulated tables. Some of these have no other live players sitting at the ‘table’, while others are full of other players, just as they would be in a real casino. These come with many different Poker variants, but the most common are Texas Hold’em, and Five-card Draw. The cool thing about these types of tables is that you are playing in a specific order with other people at a table, so unlike video poker, you get to learn about more about how the game unfolds.
Live Casino
For those looking for an even more authentic experience, Live Casino is a great way to go. All the famous Poker variants are played at the Live Casinos, and there are a few top-rated providers who host these games. The way they work is that they are basically a real table; they just have cameras filming the table and the dealer for the players to see, instead of them actually having to go to a land-based casino.No matter what your personal style may be, there is going to be a perfect Poker variant for you. Happy hunting!
