Most online casinos spend more effort trying to separate you from your money than they do trying to give you a good experience. They have all kinds of popup windows, they usually make you download their software, and if do they offer play-in-browser games then you have to register an account before you can play. And if you do register then they start sending you emails trying to get you to deposit real money.
But Bodog is different. They have no popup windows at all, and their practice games play right in your browser, with no download, and no registration required. You don't even have to give up your email address. It couldn't be simpler: Just one click and you're playing the game.
I wish all online casinos showed this much respect for their players. Other casinos practically ask for your first born child to play for free. Meanwhile Bodog is patient and does not twist anybody's arm to play for real money. You can play as long as you like for free with no obligation. The real-money games are available if that's your preference, but if not, you can play the free practice games for as long as you like without hassle. (Visit Bodog)

No popups, no download, no registration, no B.S., just the game.
A new video poker game (currently at the Orleans and Suncoast) pays the player both on the their initial 5-card hand and their hand after the draw. Half the coins bet will pay based on the intial hand and the other half based on the draw. If the player bets an odd number of coins then the extra coin will go toward the draw of one hand. The player may choose from 4 games and either 3 play, 5 play, or 10 play. The first coin bet will be on the draw of the first hand. The second coin bet will be on the deal of the first hand. The third coin bet will be on the draw of the second hand, and so on. After the player has bet at least 2 coins (one each on the draw and deal) on each hand then he will start to add a second coin to each of the hands. For the deal the player shall receive a separate set of cards per hand. However on the draw only the first hand shall be used with a separate set of replacement cards on each hand.
The following table is a summary of the return of each game on both the deal and the draw.
