Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be wagered on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your computer, through a net connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will then be "dealt" on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.
After the player has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.
Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic 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 last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most profitable ones each time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their profits, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
