Video Poker is a beloved game that usually will be enjoyed in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, through a net account. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the best combination of cards possible in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will be "dealt" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and players will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should 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 gambler has selected which cards he wishes to retain, they should press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be handed out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to select the most profitable game each and every instance.
As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the player a chance to double their wins, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
