Electronic Poker is a popular game that usually will be played in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your PC, using an Internet connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be "given out" on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has chosen which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Normally, 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 two 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 payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making machine each instance.
After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their profits, in which instance another round is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
