Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be played in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 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 discerning bettors are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine every instance.

As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, several styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
