Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be wagered on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, using a web account. The rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "distributed" on the video screen.

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

After the bettor has selected which cards he or she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be given out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Normally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable bettors are agile enough to choose the most beneficial game each and every instance.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case another game is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
