Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your home computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to get the best assemblage of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "distributed" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving 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 pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to choose the most profitable ones every time.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance a further game is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
