Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with money. On this account it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and enthusiasts should now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be handed 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 shown on the payout schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are able to choose the most beneficial machine every instance.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game give the bettor a chance to double their winnings, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
