Duel video poker is classic Jacks or Better with one huge twist: a genuine 0% house edge. You're dealt five cards, you choose which to hold, the rest are redrawn once, and the best poker hand pays — with a Royal Flush worth 813× your bet. Here's the full payout table, the rules, and a free hold-and-draw demo.
▶ Play at Duel
Video poker is the solo, machine version of five-card draw, and the game people usually mean when they search "duel poker" on the originals menu. It's one of Duel's in-house provably-fair originals: you get five cards, decide which to keep, and the ones you throw away are replaced once. Your final five-card hand is scored against a fixed payout table.
The headline, like the rest of Duel's originals, is a 0% house edge. A normal Jacks-or-Better machine keeps around 0.5% even at full pay; Duel's runs at break-even on the allowance, and every deal is provably fair so you can verify it from the seeds. The catch that makes it fun: unlike a slot or roulette, your decisions matter — which cards you hold changes the maths.
Only the highest-ranking combination in your final hand is paid. A pair only counts if it's Jacks or better. Here's the full pay table on Duel:
Place a demo bet, hit Deal, then click the cards you want to hold and press Draw. Your hand is scored on the real Duel pay table above. No account, no money — just the hold-and-draw decision that makes video poker a game of skill.
A round is quick: place your bet and deal, and you get five cards from a single 52-card deck. Click any cards you want to keep — they light up as held — then press Draw. Every card you didn't hold is replaced once with a fresh card, and that final hand is your result.
Every deal is provably fair: the shuffle comes from a server seed, your client seed and a nonce, and the server seed is revealed afterwards so you can confirm the cards weren't stacked. You verify it yourself instead of trusting the brand.
There's no KYC up to $2,000 in winnings per day. Deposit crypto from about $1, register with just an email, and the flat 50% rakeback applies. Duel runs on an Anjouan licence (ALSI-202411026-FI1) — an offshore licence, so local player protections differ from a domestic regulator. Winnings may be taxable where you live; check your local rules and play within your means.
Duel Blackjack has a full demo and side-bet payouts; Castle Roulette is the 0%-edge multiplier wheel with a demo spin.
