Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers should now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 pay out schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning players are able to select the most beneficial ones every instance.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
