Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos across the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using a web connection. The game rules are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to win money. On this account it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the line of contact with competing players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be "handed out" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, 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 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 last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most money-making game every time.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance another game is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
