Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a web account. The regulations are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it is very similar 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 irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.
Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to choose the most money-making machine every instance.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game give the player a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further game is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
