The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will then be "distributed" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the player has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves 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 payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to pick the most profitable game each instance.

Once the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
