A fun diversion for the video poker junky is Pick Em Poker from RTG. Here the goal is still to get a winning poker hand as listed on the pay table with a pair of 9's or better needed to win. But the game takes an interesting twist in how the cards are delivered and discarded.

It appears as if you are dealt four cards – however it is actually two cards face up on the left and two stacks of 3 cards each also face up. Select one stack on the right and the other stack is discarded. Now your three cards (two of which you have never seen) are displayed for a five card poker hand. This game is statistically more difficult to win so the threshold hand has been lowered to Nines or Better rather than Jacks, and a Royal Flush pays 6000 coins on a 5 coin bet rather than the standard 4000.
