Video Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at your house on your computer, using a net connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards possible in order to win cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the line of contact with competing players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the player has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 vary from machine to machine, so that discerning players are able to choose the most money-making ones each and every instance.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
