Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be gambled on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your home computer, using a net account. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to get the best combination of cards achievable in order to win cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of five cards will then be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the enthusiast has selected which cards he would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are able to choose the most beneficial ones each instance.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that might have been won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to double their wins, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
