Selection of games
Online casinos can simultaneously offer several dozen versions of this game. As an example we can consider the largest sites running on the platform Microgaming. It is a difficult task even for an inexperienced player to choose the most favorable model among such a wide range. Many players prefer video poker with colorful graphics, a lot of jokers and a progressive jackpot.

Unwillingness to learn the basic strategy
Everything should be clear about this issue without explanation. In video poker, the final results depend more on the player's skills than on luck. Therefore, you should forget about playing using intuition, open recommendations on strategy, train and learn how to win the casino. There is no other way. You can make a convenient table of clues and enjoy it playing online.
Application of basic strategy to all games
Don't forget that the strategy of the game can not be exactly the same for all varieties of video poker, although the basic recommendations in many versions are the same. But if you try to play Jacks or Better Strategy using a strategy developed for Deuces Wild, do not expect good results.
Game not on the highest bet
Many video pokers offer too high payouts for the highest combination (usually only for the Royal Flush) while playing on the largest bet. This implies the maximum bet in coins. Their value is not important, because the payouts are made using the same coins.
The level of theoretical return of the game indicated by the developer has also been designed taking into account these potential gains. If you bet from one to four coins, you will lose the chance to get such a huge payout (or even progressive jackpot) and deliberately decrease the average rate of return.
Conclusion

Then you have to choose the optimal strategy. Next, you should learn all recommendations, because playing with a cheat sheet is not interesting and slowly.
