Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, using a net account. The rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to get the best combination of cards as you can in order to win money. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, 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 presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be given out. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

Typically, 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 starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to select the most money-making machine every instance.

After the first round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their profits, 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 aspects to enhance playability.
