Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your PC, through a net account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the best combination of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be dealt 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 shown on the payout schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning players are able to select the most money-making machine each time.

Once the first round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which instance another hand is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
