Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your computer, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be "handed out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to 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 or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are able to pick the most money-making machine every time.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their wins, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
