Video Poker is a beloved game that usually will be gambled on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your home computer, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to get the highest assemblage of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the screen.

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

After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest 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 common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are able to choose the most money-making ones each instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another game is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
