Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced players are able to select the most beneficial game every instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their wins, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
