Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through a net account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the best mixture of cards possible in order to win money. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has chosen which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be given out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning 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 starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to select the most money-making ones each and every time.

Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that have been won. Further, several versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their winnings, in which instance another hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
