Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at home on your PC, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to win money. On this account it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and players should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are able to select the most beneficial ones each time.

After the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
