The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A five card hand will then be "handed out" on the screen.

The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of 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 definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful bettors are able to select the most profitable machine each instance.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance a further round is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
