Video Poker is a beloved game that can be played in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using an Internet account. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the best mixture of cards possible in order to win cash. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the player 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 finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable bettors are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine each time.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the gambler a chance to double their wins, in which case a further game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
