Dear
Mark,
When I am dealt the first five cards on a video poker
machine, are the draw cards already sitting behind
the cards I want to discard, or are they dealt from
the top of the deck? Ed. P.
It depends, Ed, on the
company who produced the slot or how old the machine
is. In the past, the majority of video poker machines
operated using parallel dealing. This is where all
10 cards are dealt simultaneously, meaning, you are
dealt both the display cards and their draw replacements.
Discard that dreadful four of clubs and the seven
of diamonds,
which you didn’t
need, was sitting behind it all along. Today, the
new machines employ serial dealing. Here replacement
cards are dealt right from the top of the deck—similar
to a live poker game.
Because the cards are shuffled and displayed randomly,
neither way has any effect on the outcome.
