Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be played in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net account. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards as you can in order to win cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

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

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the player 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, from all to none.

After the player has chosen which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful players are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each instance.

After the first round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their winnings, in which instance another hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
