Hi Lo video poker is an interesting variation on the theme. As with other types of video poker, you are assessed on your final hand and given a win depending on how good the hand is. However, there is also a Hi Lo element to the game
With the High Lo aspect, you are dealt cards one by one and with each one you have to say if the next card will be higher (high) or lower (lo). If you manage to get the end of the five card deal, you get the option to swap cards
In other versions of Hi Lo video poker, you only get the high/lo option at the end of the game and it acts as a double-up gamble feature
What this means, is that you will have your win, but then given a random card which you must try to guess if the next one will be higher or lower. If you get it correct, then your prize is doubled up. With some hi lo video poker games, there is a limit to how many times you can double up. Quite often the maximum double up value is 4 in a row.
