Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be enjoyed in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your home computer, using a net account. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "handed out" on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum 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 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 definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each and every time.

After the first round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
