Video Poker is a favored game that can be enjoyed in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your computer, through a web connection. The rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the best combination of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "distributed" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to 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 player has decided on which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out 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 list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful players are able to choose the most profitable ones each and every time.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
