Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be bet on in casinos across the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net connection. The regulations are very simple and involve the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to win money. On this account it is very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now decide 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 decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every 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, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful players are agile enough to select the most beneficial ones each time.

After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, some styles of the game allow the player a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance another round is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
