Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be bet on in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the best combination of cards as you can in order to win money. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "handed out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most money-making game every time.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Further, some versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their profits, in which case another hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
