Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be wagered on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your home computer, using an Internet account. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win cash. On this account it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will then be "handed out" on the video screen.

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

After the bettor has selected which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be handed out. 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 shown on the payout schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that discerning bettors are able to choose the most profitable ones each time.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
