Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a web account. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the line of contact with competing players. Of course, methods employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine every time.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to double their profits, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
