Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your home computer, through a web account. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the best combination of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes 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 player has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced players are agile enough to select the most profitable machine every instance.

Once the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, several styles of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
