Video Poker is a beloved game that usually will be wagered on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your computer, using a web connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the highest mixture of cards possible in order to win money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine each time.

Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their profits, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
