Learning Enjoy Video Poker


[ English ]

Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through a net connection. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, apart from the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the draw button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler 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 wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be handed out if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every 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 last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are able to select the most beneficial game each instance.

Once the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their wins, in which instance another game is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
