Video Poker is a favored game that can be gambled on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to win cash. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will be "given out" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning 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 a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving 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 should be known that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning bettors are able to choose the most profitable machine each instance.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their profits, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
