Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using an Internet account. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. On this account it is very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will then be "distributed" on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning gamblers are agile enough to choose the most money-making machine every instance.

As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game give the gambler a chance to increase their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
