Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, using a web account. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus 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 begins when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 discerning enthusiasts are able to choose the most money-making game each and every instance.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
