Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be bet on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet connection. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to get the highest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it is very similar as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the player has selected which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be dealt. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding 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, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to pick the most beneficial ones each and every time.

After the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which instance a further round is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
