Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through a net account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to choose the most beneficial ones every instance.

Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Further, several versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their profits, in which case another game is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
