Electronic Poker is a favored game that usually will be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your computer, using an Internet connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to choose the most beneficial game each and every time.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game give the player a chance to double their winnings, in which instance another round is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
