Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, through a net account. The rules are very simple and involve the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of 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 finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are able to pick the most money-making machine each time.
As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the player an opportunity to double their winnings, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
