Video Poker Hand Rankings

Knowing the rankings of the hand is the first step to learning how to play video poker. In a normal poker game, the higher the number on the card, the better it is. The face cards are Jack, Queen, and King in that order and the ace is the highest card in the deck.

In video poker, suits aren’t ranked, so there is no difference between the hearts, diamonds clubs, or spades suits.

The list of winning poker hands ranked from highest to lowest is listed here at AbsoluteVideoPoker.com but for a full list with related images, we suggest Poker.com’s Winning Poker Hands.
