Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be played in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your PC, through an Internet connection. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest assemblage of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, 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 must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Normally, 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 list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three 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 change from machine to machine, so that discerning gamblers are able to choose the most profitable machine each instance.

Once the first round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their profits, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
