Electronic Poker is a favored game that usually will be played in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, using a web connection. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest assemblage of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he or she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning bettors are agile enough to choose the most money-making ones each and every time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to increase their wins, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
