Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your home computer, using a net account. The regulations are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest 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 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are able to select the most money-making game every instance.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the player a chance to increase their profits, in which instance another game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
