Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be bet on in casinos across the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through an Internet account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with money. On this account it’s very similar as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are given out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each 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 finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to select the most beneficial game every time.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
