Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at home on your home computer, through a web account.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A five card hand will be "distributed" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes 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, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are able to pick the most profitable game each instance.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their winnings, in which case another round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
