Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be played in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to get the highest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with money. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are able to choose the most profitable ones each and every instance.

After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their profits, in which case another round is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
