Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, through a web account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to get the highest mixture of cards possible in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the player has selected which cards she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each and every instance.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that have been won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
