Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be enjoyed in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your home computer, using a net connection. The rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will then be "distributed" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine each and every time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to increase their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
