Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be wagered on in casinos across the world, or in your house on your home computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should 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 chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Typically, 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, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are able to select the most profitable game every time.
Once the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that has been won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their winnings, in which case another round is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
