Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos across the world, or alternatively at your house on your computer, through a net connection. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the line of contact with other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each and every instance.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
