  Slide Poker Tips and Strategies

Going in Circles

1.       Check the initial value of your highlighted cards before you try to make improvements. Quickly glance up at the Current Hand display in the upper right side of the screen. If it says “Royal Flush” (or maybe even just “Flush”) hit that SCORE button!

2.       Next, look over the highlighted cards and the cards nearby to see how close you are to having a valuable hand. Assess with an eye toward the major hands, in descending order: If not a Royal Flush, can you make a Flush? How far are you from Four of a Kind or a Straight?

3.       When you have two hands to make, you’ll want to make one as good as you can, so that you can have at least one easy hand to work with in the following round.

4.       Start circling. Think of the cards you want to move as being on a circle (or oblong) that includes the blank space. For example, say you’ve got three cards and a blank space that form a square -- whoops, did we say “square”? Think of the cards as forming a tight circle; slide the cards one by one to rotate that circle.

5.       By planning small rotations to set up bigger rotations and rotating either clockwise or counterclockwise, you can move the cards anywhere you like.
