Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or alternatively at home on your home computer, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to acquire money. On this account it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the gambler has selected which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced players are agile enough to pick the most money-making machine each and every instance.
After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their wins, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
