Video Poker is a favored game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet connection. The game rules are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will then be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now decide 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 light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the player has selected which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video 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, 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 experienced gamblers are able to select the most beneficial game each instance.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their wins, in which instance another hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
