Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos across the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet account. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to win cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold 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’s all or none.
After the player has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh 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 payment schedule.
Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are able to choose the most profitable game each time.
Once the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Further, several styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their profits, in which case another round is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
