Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be gambled on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your home computer, using a web connection. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be "handed out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three 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 vary from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to select the most beneficial ones each time.
After the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that might have been won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
