Cryptologic have implemented autohold for their video poker games. Unfortunately it's a total joke.
"The auto-hold feature allows you to let the game suggest which cards to hold after the initial deal. You may toggle the system on or off at will. Additionally, you are not forced to accept the recommendation of the system; you may manually change any of the suggestions prior to clicking on draw to continue the hand.
Please note that the strategy suggestions are an accurate representation of simple strategy for each variant but there are highly advanced exceptions that are not incorporated into the feature. Additionally, the system will not select any card(s) to hold for hands without a pair and without a strategically correct draw. For more information on intermediate and optimal strategy in video poker, we recommend the website of a highly regarded gaming math expert at

It will never hold:
one, two or three high cards (except 3 to a Royal)
3 to a straight flush
preferring to discard all five cards
Shameful. The payout of this strategy is only around 93%.
