Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be bet on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web connection. The rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the gambler has selected which cards he or she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are given out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins 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 is obvious that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are able to pick the most profitable machine each time.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
