Basic VP Rules and Strategy.

• If you are drawing four cards, don't keep a 10.
• Only if you can get a royal flush by taking a card should you disturb any 5 winning cards.
• Don't keep an unpaired high card with a pair.
• Do not break a straight in order to build a straight flush.
• Never draw five if you have a "Jack or Better".
• Can you get a royal flush by drawing 3 cards? Then don't draw more than that.
• Always play the maximum coins. If you are uncomfortable playing five coins then drop down to a lower bet machine.
