Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net account. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to get the best combination of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the line of contact with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most beneficial ones every time.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the gambler a chance to increase their wins, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
