Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net account. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to acquire money. On this account it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler 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, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful players are able to select the most beneficial ones every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
