Electronic Poker is a beloved game that usually will be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your home computer, through an Internet connection. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be given out if desired. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves 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 payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are able to pick the most beneficial machine each time.

After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the player a chance to double their winnings, in which situation another game is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
