Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be played in casinos around the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web connection. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it is very similar as a regular game of poker, apart from the line of contact with other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the draw button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, 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 must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the bettor has decided on which cards he would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Generally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to choose the most beneficial machine every time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Further, some versions of the game give the gambler a chance to increase their wins, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
