Video Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through an Internet connection. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the best mixture of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it’s much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor 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, whether it’s all or none.
After the player has chosen which cards she wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced players are able to select the most profitable game every instance.
After the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to double their wins, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
