Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be bet on in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to get the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to acquire money.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be "distributed" on the screen.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now completed, 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 lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand.

It goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are able to choose the most beneficial machine each time.

Once the first round has played out, the player can either decide to continue 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 versions of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
