Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be played in casinos across the world, or in your house on your computer, through a net account. The rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common 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 payout schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning players are able to select the most money-making ones each instance.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the player a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
