The game of Video Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and enthusiasts will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to discard.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each better hand.

It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to pick the most profitable machine every time.

Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, some versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their profits, in which instance a further game is played.
