Video Poker is a popular game that can be bet on in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to choose the most money-making machine every instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which instance another hand is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
