Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be enjoyed in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your home computer, through an Internet connection. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should 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 bettor has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning 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, 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 should be known that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are able to select the most profitable ones each and every time.
After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, some versions of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to increase their winnings, in which case another round is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
