Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet connection. The game rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the highest assemblage of cards possible in order to come away with money. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A five card hand will be "given out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has chosen which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each 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, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to select the most money-making ones each and every instance.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, some styles of the game allow the player an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
