Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net connection. The regulations are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards possible in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will then be "distributed" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that discerning players are able to select the most profitable ones each and every time.

As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which situation a further game is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
