Video Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos across the world, or in your house on your home computer, through a net account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be "dealt" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 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 payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are able to choose the most beneficial machine each and every instance.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their profits, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations among specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
