Planet 7 Casino video poker

Planet 7 Casino video poker at a glance

Yes, Planet 7 has real-money video poker. Third-party reviews name Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild in the lobby, and Blockonomi's Planet 7 review (opens in a new tab) counts 14 video poker variants among 195-plus slots. The casino's own game list isn't published in any source we could check, so treat the count as a third-party figure.

All of it comes from RealTime Gaming, the studio behind the rest of the lobby. Since 2022 RTG has used the SpinLogic Gaming brand for its US-facing business, and one third-party listing names SpinLogic as a second provider at Planet 7. The games are the same family either way.

For the wider lobby, see our Planet 7 Casino review and the guide to Planet 7 table games.

Which video poker variants can you play at Planet 7 Casino?

Two titles are confirmed by reviewers: Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild. RTG's wider catalog holds 14 video poker games, which happens to match the count in one Planet 7 review, but no source ties each title to this casino. Check the casino's lobby before you plan around any one of them.

Where two sources disagree, both figures appear above. Game listings come from SlotCatalog and GamesHub's RTG game pages (opens in a new tab), not from RTG or the casino, so the version you load may differ. If the game shows its return in the help screen, that number beats any listing.

How to read a Planet 7 Casino video poker pay table

A pay table is the list of hands and what each pays per coin. Two games with the same name can return very different amounts if their tables differ, so the pay table matters more than the title. Our video poker pay table glossary entry covers the terms.

1. Load the game and find its pay table. Video poker games normally show it above the cards or in the help screen.
2. Pick your coin size and coins per hand. Many tables pay a bigger royal flush bonus only at maximum coins, so check that line.
3. Find the full house and flush lines in Jacks or Better style games. Reduced-pay versions usually cut these first.
4. In wild-card games such as Deuces Wild, check what four deuces, five of a kind and a natural royal pay.
5. Compare the game's stated return, if shown, with the figures in the table above.
6. Set a session budget before the first hand and stop when it's gone.

In Jacks or Better, people shorten the table to two numbers, the full house and flush payouts per coin. A 9/6 table pays 9 and 6. The lower those two numbers, the lower the return. More detail is in how to play video poker.

What Planet 7 video poker costs in dollars

Expected loss is total stake multiplied by the house edge, and the house edge is 100% minus the RTP. Take 500 hands at $1.25 each (five coins at $0.25). That's $625 put through the machine, and the published returns turn it into the expected costs below.

These are long-run averages. A single session can end far above or below them, because a royal flush or four deuces is rare and pays a lot. Published video poker returns also assume close to perfect decisions; mistakes push the real cost higher. Our house edge explainer shows the formula in more depth.

The gap between the best and worst title is large. On the same $625, Sevens Wild is expected to cost about 15 times what Jacks or Better does.

Video poker strategy at Planet 7: what helps and what doesn't

Correct holds lower the house edge; nothing removes it. A strategy chart for the exact game and pay table tells you which cards to keep, and following it is how players get close to the published RTP. Our video poker strategy guide explains the main rules.

• Strategy changes between games. Deuces Wild holds differ from Jacks or Better holds.
• Betting systems that raise stakes after losses don't change the edge. They only raise the amount at risk.
• Each hand is dealt by a random number generator, so no machine is ever due to pay.
• Third-party listings say some RTG titles, including Jacks or Better, Aces and Eights and Loose Deuces, have a double-or-nothing gamble. It adds swings, so skip it if you're keeping to a budget.

Fairness testing is only reported secondhand. LCB says RTG games are tested by Technical Systems Testing, and Blockonomi says Planet 7's software was tested by GLI. No US state regulator tests or audits these games.

Jackpot video poker titles in the RTG range

Two RTG video poker titles carry a progressive jackpot according to third-party listings: Double Double Jackpot Poker and Double Jackpot Poker. Neither is named in any Planet 7 review, so check the casino's lobby for them.

A progressive adds a growing prize on top of the normal pay table. Part of the return goes to the meter, so the base game pays slightly less than it otherwise would. See Planet 7 progressive jackpots for how the casino's slot jackpots work.

Planet 7 Casino video poker bonuses and wagering

Bonus money at Planet 7 is aimed at slots. LCB's Planet 7 listing (opens in a new tab) gives the welcome match at 30x bonus plus deposit on slots, with a $1,000 maximum cashout. It doesn't give a video poker rate. Where reviewers do give one, it's steep.

• Comp points: Blockonomi says 100 points equal $1, with a 1,000-point minimum redemption. Redeemed comps carry 30x on slots, keno, scratch cards and bingo, and 60x on video poker and table games.
• Free chip: Blockonomi describes a $25 no-deposit chip with a $100 maximum withdrawal, 30x on slots and 60x on table games and video poker.
• Welcome match: LCB lists it as slots-only; the video poker rate isn't published.

Worked example. Redeem 1,000 comp points for $10. At 60x, you must wager $600 before withdrawing. On Jacks or Better at 99.54%, the expected loss on $600 is $2.76. On Sevens Wild at 93.15%, it's $41.10, more than four times the $10 you started with. Our video poker bonus guide covers this trade-off for other casinos.

All of these terms are third-party reports and they change. The terms shown at sign-up and in your account are the ones that apply.

Playing Planet 7 video poker on a phone

Reviewers say Planet 7 runs as instant play in Android and iPhone browsers, with no app in the app stores, and Blockonomi notes a downloadable desktop client. Video poker works the same way on a small screen: the pay table, five cards and hold buttons. See Planet 7 on mobile for setup notes.

A smaller screen makes it easier to tap the wrong hold. Slow down on big decisions such as breaking a pair to chase a royal.

Is Planet 7 video poker legal in the USA?

Planet 7 is an offshore casino that no US state licenses or regulates. Its own site doesn't show a license. AskGamblers reports a Costa Rica license with no number, while LCB and Casino Guru say it has no license, and reviewers name different operators (BTK Ltd and Ace Revenue Group among them).

Michigan's regulator named Planet 7 Casino in an April 9, 2025 cease-and-desist release (opens in a new tab) to 13 unlicensed operators, and called the sites illegal offshore operators. Only seven states license online casinos: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Federal UIGEA targets payment processing, not players placing bets, so your state's law is what counts.

Planet 7 vs Royal Ace for video poker

Royal Ace is the closest alternative. It's another RTG casino that LCB links to Ace Revenue Group, and its bonus terms say more about video poker than Planet 7's do.

See the full Royal Ace review for its banking and complaint record.

Keeping video poker sessions under control

Video poker is fast, so a budget goes quickly. AskGamblers lists no deposit limits, session limits, cool-offs or self-exclusion at Planet 7, so plan to rely on your own limits and outside tools.

• Set a loss limit and a time limit before you start, and stop at whichever comes first.
• Use a blocker such as Gamban or BetBlocker if you want a hard stop.
• Talk to the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) by call or text, or use NCPG's online chat (opens in a new tab).
