Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be gambled on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your computer, using a web account. The rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest mixture of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the line of contact with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will then be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the player has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be dealt. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Typically, the minimum 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 common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that skillful players are able to pick the most money-making machine every time.
After the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, some styles of the game give the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
