Video Poker is a beloved game that usually will be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, through a net account. The regulations are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins 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 definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to choose the most beneficial game each and every time.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their wins, in which instance another round is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
