Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be wagered on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, through an Internet connection. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 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 payout schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning players are agile enough to choose the most money-making game every instance.

After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which case another game is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
