Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be gambled on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your computer, through a web account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to win cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with competing players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the enthusiast has selected which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. 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 shown on the payout schedule.

Generally, the minimum 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 begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 range from game to game, so that experienced players are agile enough to select the most beneficial game each and every instance.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
