Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet connection. The regulations are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to win money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the line of contact with other players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A hand of five cards will be "distributed" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are dealt if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common 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 goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most profitable game each time.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
