Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be bet on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your home computer, through an Internet account. The game rules are very simple and involve the player trying to get the highest combination of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards he would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to pick the most profitable machine every instance.
After the first round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
