Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be played in casinos across the world, or in your house on your computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the highest mixture of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. 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 number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the bettor has selected which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced players are able to pick the most money-making ones every instance.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Further, several styles of the game give the bettor a chance to double their wins, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
