Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be gambled on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your computer, using a net connection. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to win cash. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like 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, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to choose the most money-making ones each time.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which instance another hand is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
