Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, through a net connection. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to come away with money.

For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has selected which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 should be known that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that discerning players are able to pick the most beneficial machine each time.
After the first round has finished, the player can either choose to stay on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to increase their wins, in which instance a further game is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
