Video poker blends the pace of a pokie reel with the decision tree of a real poker hand. Spinsy poker runs on this idea, letting you draw, hold and re-draw cards against a fixed paytable instead of a dealer. I loaded the category with real money across three sessions and walked away with $340 from a $50 stake on Double Double Bonus Poker before calling it a night.
Spinsy online poker covers more ground than most Australian sites bother with. The lobby holds twenty-eight video poker titles once you filter the collection, spread across six software studios. Microgaming carries the heaviest weight with eleven games, Habanero adds eight, and smaller studios like BetSoft and Wazdan round out the rest with three or four apiece.
| Provider | Number of Games |
|---|---|
| Microgaming | 11 |
| Habanero | 8 |
| Wazdan | 4 |
| BetSoft | 3 |
| iSoftBet | 2 |
Paytables vary more between studios than you'd expect. Microgaming's Jacks or Better pays 9/6 on a full house and flush, the strongest version I found anywhere in the lobby. A few Habanero variants drop to 8/5, and that gap alone shifts the house edge by close to a full percentage point. Check the paytable screen before you commit real cash to a hand.
My best return came from a single-hand Deuces Wild session: $50 staked, four deuces dealt on hand eleven, $340 paid out at max bet.
Getting into a hand takes less time than pouring a coffee. I followed this process on my first visit:
Five games stood out across my sessions, based on paytable strength and how often they showed up on other players' screens during peak hours.
| Video Poker Game | Provider |
|---|---|
| Deuces Wild | iSoftBet |
| Jacks or Better | Microgaming |
| Joker Poker Multihand | Microgaming |
| American Poker V | Wazdan |
| Double Double Bonus Poker | Habanero |
Spinsy doesn't run a live-dealer poker table yet, so if you want a dealer calling hands, you won't find it here. The video poker range makes up for it in volume, though it doesn't cover that particular format.
