Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through an Internet connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the player has selected which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each 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 last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are able to choose the most money-making machine each and every instance.
After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case another game is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
