Video Poker is a beloved game that can be bet on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your computer, using a web account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be "handed out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like 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 bettor has selected which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be given out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are able to choose the most profitable machine every time.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
