Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, using a net account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "distributed" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine 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 gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic 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 2 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 payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine each time.

After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which instance another game is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
