Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be played in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, using a web account. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be dealt if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning players are agile enough to choose the most profitable game each instance.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their winnings, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
