Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be wagered on in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your home computer, using a net account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the line of contact with competing players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the enthusiast has selected which cards she wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be given out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful players are able to select the most beneficial ones each time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their wins, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
