Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using a web connection. The game rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the highest assemblage of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it is very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the line of contact with other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has selected which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are agile enough to pick the most profitable ones every instance.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, some versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case a further game is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
