Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "dealt" on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and bettors should now pick which cards to hold 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 choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing 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 definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine each instance.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Further, several versions of the game give the player an opportunity to increase their profits, in which situation a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
