Video Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, through a net connection. The regulations are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with money. In this respect it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should 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 illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are handed out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic 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 winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing 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, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to select the most money-making game each time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
