Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be gambled on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at your house on your computer, through a net account. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

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

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has chosen which cards she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to select the most profitable machine every instance.

After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their profits, in which situation another game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
