Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using a net account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the line of contact with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

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

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 payout schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to choose the most profitable ones each time.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, 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 a chance to double their winnings, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
