All American is a casino card game by Espresso Games in the Video Poker format. It is not a classic pokie with reels, paylines, Wild and Scatter, but video poker where players form poker combinations and choose which cards to hold before the draw.

The game is based on Jacks or Better-style mechanics, with payouts beginning from a pair of jacks or a stronger combination. Independent analysis lists an RTP of 97.39%, and the paytable uses the values 1-2-3-7-8-9-35-90-800. The highest payout is for a Royal Flush at 800x under the classic video-poker paytable.

• Jacks or Better Style
• Hi-Lo
• Double Feature
• Video Poker

Gameplay follows a standard video-poker hand. The player receives five cards, selects the cards to hold and replaces the remaining cards. The final payout depends on the completed poker combination and the paytable.

Unlike video pokies, there are no Free Spins, Scatter symbols, Wild symbols or bonus reels. The main interest comes from deciding which cards to hold, the probability of improving the hand and the chance to form strong combinations: Straight, Flush, Full House, Four of a Kind, Straight Flush and Royal Flush.

The additional Double and Hi-Lo risk features let players try to increase an existing win. These modes make the game more dynamic but remain optional, as the base mechanics still follow classic video poker.

Theme and style

All American uses a classic card-game style. There is no story animation or adventure presentation; the focus remains on the cards, paytable, selection of held cards and quick hands.

All American belongs to the categories of video poker, card games, poker games and casino table games. It suits users interested in card logic, clear rules and more active involvement rather than spinning reels.

The Espresso Games format emphasises simplicity: players see the cards, choose their holds and receive the result immediately after the draw. This approach suits those who want to test video poker without complicated bonus mechanics.

Popularity among players

All American appears in the Espresso Games video-poker catalogue and may appeal to players from Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway and New Zealand. Video poker is particularly popular with users who prefer card games and a calmer pace than high-volatility pokies.

The game is often chosen by players who want to test poker mechanics with a fixed paytable and 97.39% RTP. All American is best viewed as a separate card format within the Espresso Games catalogue rather than a standard pokie.
