Video Poker is a beloved game that can be wagered on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a net connection. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to win cash. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards he would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Normally, the minimum winning 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 begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making game every instance.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the player a chance to double their winnings, in which instance another round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
