Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet connection. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and enthusiasts should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out 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 common list of 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 finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning players are agile enough to select the most beneficial ones each instance.

After the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
