Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your computer, using an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest assemblage of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic 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 two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to pick the most money-making machine each instance.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
