Electronic Poker is a beloved game that usually will be played in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at your house on your computer, through a web account. The regulations are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the best combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a normal game of poker, without the line of contact with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.

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

After the bettor has chosen which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that discerning players are agile enough to choose the most beneficial machine each instance.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
