Video poker is a single-player card game: you are dealt a hand, keep the cards you want and draw replacements once. The playojo video poker search is best answered by understanding the game first, then checking the PlayOJO lobby for what is listed there. Titles and paytables differ between providers, so the rules of each game matter.
Common video poker variants
Video poker comes in many versions, and the names usually describe the paytable or an extra rule. Common variants include Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Joker Poker (Joker's Wild), Double Bonus Poker, Tens Or Better, Triple Play Poker, Joker Poker 3 Hands, Playboy Jacks or Better, Game King Video Poker, 2 Ways Royal Video Poker 10 Hands and Super Video Poker.
Jacks or Better is the base game, paying from a pair of jacks upward. Deuces Wild turns all twos into wild cards, and joker versions add a wild joker to the deck. Multi-hand versions, such as Triple Play, deal one starting hand and then run the draw separately on several hands. Providers behind these games include Microgaming, Green Valley Games (GVG), Play'n GO, Red Rake, IGT, KA Gaming, GamesOS and Pragmatic Play.
Treat this as a guide to what exists across the industry. If you want to know which titles PlayOJO lists, check its lobby and read each game's help screen before you play.
Video poker rules in short
A standard 52-card deck is used and the game is played against a paytable, not against other players. You place a bet, receive five cards and choose which to hold. The rest are replaced, and the final hand is paid if it matches a winning combination, from the lowest paying hand up to a royal flush.
The paytable is the key detail. Two games with the same name can pay differently for flushes or full houses, which changes the long-run return. Compare the paytable shown in the game, not just its name.
Each deal is random, and a betting system that raises stakes after a loss does not change the odds. Holding the right cards affects the long-run return, but it cannot promise a result.

Video poker versus live poker
Video poker runs entirely on a random number generator, so there is no dealer and no waiting between hands. Live poker-style tables stream a real dealer and real cards at the dealer's pace. The live casino page explains how those games work in general.
Practical points
Read the paytable and the hand rankings first, then pick a stake you are comfortable losing and stick to the limit you set. Hands arrive quickly in video poker, so check your spending as you go.
