Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the line of contact with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should 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 or she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each instance.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their profits, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
