Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be gambled on in casinos across the world, or alternatively at home on your home computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to get the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to choose the most beneficial ones each time.

After the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, several styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
