Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos around the world, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to win cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.
After the gambler has chosen which cards he would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Generally, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced players are agile enough to select the most profitable ones each and every time.
After the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their wins, in which situation a further game is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
