Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through a net account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards as you can in order to come away with money. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to select the most money-making machine each instance.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, some versions of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their profits, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
