The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players.

It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning gamblers are able to choose the most money-making ones each and every time.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
