Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be bet on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, through a net connection. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to win money. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has chosen which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, 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 common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving 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 should be known that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that skillful players are able to select the most beneficial machine each and every instance.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their profits, in which situation a further round is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
