Electronic Poker is a beloved game that usually will be played in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through an Internet account. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the bettor has selected which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are able to pick the most profitable game each and every instance.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their wins, in which instance another game is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
