Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be wagered on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your PC, using a net connection.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A five card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to discard.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that skillful players are able to choose the most profitable game every instance.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
