Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your computer, using a web connection. The rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the greatest mixture of cards as you can in order to acquire money. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful players are able to choose the most profitable ones each and every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
