Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be gambled on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your home computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the highest combination of cards as you can in order to acquire money. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every 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 finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can range from game to game, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are able to select the most beneficial ones each time.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game give the player an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
