Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, through an Internet account. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the highest combination of cards possible in order to acquire money. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. 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 amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the enthusiast has selected which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving 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 machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are able to choose the most profitable game every time.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game give the player an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
