Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at home on your PC, through an Internet connection.

For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable gamblers are able to select 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 credits that have been won. Further, several styles of the game give the bettor a chance to double their profits, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
