Video Poker is a beloved game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net account. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. 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 amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced players are agile enough to choose the most profitable ones each instance.

Once the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their wins, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
