Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and enthusiasts will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Typically, 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 list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are able to select the most money-making machine every time.

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