Electronic Poker is a beloved game that usually will be bet on in casinos around the world, or alternatively at home on your home computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the gambler puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three 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 game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most profitable game each instance.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that might have been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the player an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation a further round is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
