Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet account. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player attempting to get the highest mixture of cards possible in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "handed out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the player has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic 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 lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most money-making game each and every instance.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their winnings, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
