Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or in your house on your home computer, using an Internet account. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. In this respect it’s very similar as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and bettors will need to now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, 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 decided on which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new 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 succeeding hand on an Electronic 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, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to select the most beneficial ones each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, some versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
