Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, using an Internet account. The rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to win money. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he or she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to pick the most beneficial ones every time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Further, some styles of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which situation a further game is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
