Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or alternatively at home on your computer, using an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are able to pick the most money-making game every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their winnings, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
