Which is the Best Casino Poker Game Online: Draw, Stud or Jacks or Better?

Howzit, tjommies!  If you are into poker, guess what…  You do not have to travel to get your fix!  The reason being is the #1 online South Africa casino – and yes, we do mean Springbok – is tjok full of awesome poker games.  They are available on-demand.  Ja, nee.  The wonders of technology, hey?

Why Play Poker at the Top Ranked Online South Africa Casino?

Before we dive into the whys and wherefores of draw over stud over Jacks or Better, here is a quick tip.  There are distinct advantages of playing poker at our ever-ready online South Africa casino.  Unlike web-based poker rooms, you do not have to wait for a seat at the table.  Nor do you have to hang about for high traffic times.  All you have to do is open the game in your browser, ante up and play.  It is as easy as that.

As for all the psychobabble that goes along with multiplayer hold’em and Omaha, there is no need for that either.  Concepts like limping, bluffing and tilting are not part of the casino’s online gambling lexicon.  It is ultimately you against a nebulous adversary, like the ‘dealer’ or software app!

Decisions are kept to the bare minimum and betting rounds are contained.  The least you can win is even money…  Yet, the most you can add to the proverbial piggy bank is much, much more.

Awesome Odds, Optional Jackpots and Lump Sum No Deposit Bonuses

In fact, the top pays in casino poker are defined by odds ranging from 100 to 1 to a jaw dropping 800 to 1.  It may not be a player funded poker pot, but it is a seriously lekker jackpot!

When you take the optional progressive side bets into account, it is ‘eish’ all the way.  What does that mean to you ous?  If you win the full jackpot, you can purchase a brand-new Renault Kwid and still have a few thousand Randela left over!

Now do you see why playing poker at the best online South Africa casino is a no-brainer?  That is without tossing our free cash no deposit bonus into the equation.  At Springbok, we do not release no deposit bonuses in meagre R5 or R10 increments.  We credit your newly opened Springbok Casino account with a nice, plump lumpsum.

What that means is you can play Caribbean Draw Poker, Caribbean Stud Poker and Jacks or Better video poker for free.  Plus, you get to keep a whack of the winnings.  ‘Yeeebo yes’ is the overwhelming response from Mzansi gamers, just like you!

Now, back to the best poker to play at our slick, sassy, multi-awarding winning online South Africa casino.

Caribbean Stud Poker: Super-Quick Online Gambling Game

This version of stud poker is so easy, even a shongololo with a babbelaas can play.   The objective of the game is to get the best five card poker hand.  Your opponent is the dealer, also known as the high-performance Real Time Gaming software.

Once you are dealt five face up cards, the dealer gets one face up and four concealed cards.  At that point you make the only decision in the game.  You have the option to fold or raise the ante bet.

When you raise the bet, the dealer’s hand is revealed.  If it does not contain at least King-Ace or a pair, the hand does not qualify. When that happens, you win the ante bet and get the raise bet back.

You win both bets when your hand beats the dealer’s qualifying hand.  You are paid out at the odds corresponding with the winning poker ranking.  High cards determine ties.  Otherwise, you lose.

Caribbean Stud has an optional progressive side bet.  It is equal in value to your ante bet.  It pays out an additional prize for a flush and up.

Pros:

• Quickest poker to play online at South African casinos
• Dealer must qualify
• R2 / R100 minimum and maximum table limit
• Limited decisions
• Optional progressive side bet

Cons:

• Can get boring
• High edge

Caribbean Draw Poker: Draw Poker with an Optional Side Bet

This truncated variation of 5 card draw poker is a step up from Caribbean Stud.  The reason being the draw.   Other than that, the ante, raise and optional progressive side bets are in play.  The deal of the cards is exactly the same as stud.

Once you have raised your bet, you can discard two cards and draw new ones.  The dealer draws as well.  As with stud, the dealer’s hand must qualify with a pair of eights or better.

The rules and standard and progressive pay outs match that of Caribbean Stud.  Here is what you can win in both Caribbean flavoured online gambling games at our star rated online South Africa casino:

Jacks or Better Video Poker: Win Up to 4000 x the Bet!

Jacks or Better is a variation of 5 card draw.  It was custom developed for the video poker machines that hit B&M casino floors in the early- to mid-seventies, right around the disco era.  Today, it is a staple at all South African casinos, including our very own.

This online poker game is like Caribbean Draw, with a few notable exceptions.  The first is there is no dealer in the equation.  You play against the machine.

There is no raise bet or optional progressive side bet.  Rather, you can wager one up to five coins in a range of denominations.  More significantly, there is no limit to the cards you can draw.  You can switch all five cards, only a few, or none at all.

Once the draw is complete, you are paid out for a pair of jacks and up.  Otherwise, you lose your bet.  What makes Jacks or Better such a popular option at our online South Africa casino?  The 800 to 1 odds for a royal fluish on a maximum five-coin wager.

Here is what you can win when you play Jacks or Better at Springbok, one of the best South African casinos by far:

Jacks or Better Paytable

Jacks or Better does not have a progressive jackpot per se.  What it has instead is odds for a royal flush that increase disproportionately when a 5 coin bet is in play.  When you bet max, the odds jump from 250 to 1 to 800 to 1!

Pros:

• No limit to the number of cards you can draw
• Lowest edge of all three pokers
• Rapid turnover of games
• Jackpot prize of a 5-coin royal flush
• Best odds for high poker rankings
• Bet 1 up to 5 coins per hand
• Can maximise the win rate via the best play strategy

Cons:

• No payout for a high card
