The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A 5 card hand will then be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be given out. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins 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 finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced players are able to choose the most money-making ones each time.
Once the first round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which case another round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
