Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be played in casinos across the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using a net account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the best assemblage of cards as you can in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a regular game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning 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 begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are able to select the most profitable ones every time.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to double their winnings, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
