Electronic Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your home computer, through a net account. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the involvement with other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be handed out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable players are able to select the most profitable game every time.
After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their wins, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
