Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using a net account. The game rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.
After the player has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every 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 goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to select the most money-making ones every time.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their wins, in which case another game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
