Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos throughout the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using a web account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it is very similar as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the play button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the player has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be dealt. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning 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 begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are able to select the most beneficial game each time.

After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
