Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be wagered on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web account. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will then be "distributed" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts should now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 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 range from game to game, so that skillful bettors are able to pick the most profitable game each time.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
