The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will be "dealt" on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard.

The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are able to choose the most profitable machine every instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
