Video Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos across the world, or in your house on your PC, through a net account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to select the most money-making machine each and every time.

After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
