Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be wagered on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using a net connection. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be "given out" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Generally, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are able to select the most money-making game each instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the player a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
