Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be played in casinos throughout the globe, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, using a net connection. The rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to get the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout 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, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine each instance.

Once the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Further, some styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
