Video Poker is a beloved game that can be played in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web connection. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. On this account it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding 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 begins with jacks or better, moving on to two 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 pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to pick the most money-making game every time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their profits, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
