Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, through a web account. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be "dealt" on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be given out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to pick the most profitable machine every time.

As soon as the initial 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 retrieve any cash that has been won. Further, a few versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their profits, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
