RetroBet Poker

Video poker splits opinion faster than most casino games. You either love the mix of pokie speed and poker strategy, or you skip past it looking for the six-reel slot with the biggest jackpot number. RetroBet built its poker section for the first group, and after a few sessions testing the lobby, I'd say it holds up against sites with three times the marketing budget.

Review of the RetroBet Poker Lobby

Video poker blends the mechanics of a pokie with the hand rankings of five-card draw poker. The machine deals you five cards, you hold the ones worth keeping, and it swaps out the rest. Payouts follow a fixed table rather than a live dealer's mood, so the maths stays consistent every time you play. RetroBet sources its online poker games from six software studios, and Microgaming supplies more titles here than at most Australian-facing sites I've tested. Six providers is a fraction of what RetroBet's pokies library offers, so the poker lobby feels quieter than the slots side if you're chasing new releases every week.

How to Play RetroBet Poker

You can deal a hand faster than you can make a coffee. Follow the steps below to get started:

1. Open the RetroBet website and head to the poker category.
2. Register an account, or log into an existing one.
3. Load a title in demo mode first if you want to test the paytable before risking anything.
4. Head to the deposits page and fund your account through PayID, Visa debit, or POLi.
5. Return to the poker lobby and pick a game.
6. Set your bet size, deal your hand, and hold the cards worth keeping.

RetroBet caps demo mode at a set number of free hands on some titles, so don't expect unlimited practice on every game.
