Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be bet on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your home computer, through a web account. The regulations are very simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the best assemblage of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced players are able to pick the most money-making ones each time.

As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their profits, in which situation a further round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
