Video Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest assemblage of cards possible in order to come away with cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "given out" on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to pick the most profitable game each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance another hand is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
