Electronic Poker is a favored game that usually will be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a net connection. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to get the highest mixture of cards possible in order to win money. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. 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 amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the player has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced players are agile enough to choose the most money-making ones every time.

After the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
