Tuesday, 21. January 2020
Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your computer, using a net connection. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the best assemblage of cards possible in order to win money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the gambler has chosen which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two 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 pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning bettors are able to pick the most profitable machine each instance.
Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their wins, in which instance another hand is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
