Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, through an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and involve the player trying to get the best mixture of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum 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, 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 vary from machine to machine, so that experienced players are able to select the most money-making ones every time.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
