Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your PC, using an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the highest assemblage of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are dealt if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each and every time.

As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain 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, several versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which case another game is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
