Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be bet on in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, using a web account. The game rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to come away with money. In this respect it is very similar as a regular game of poker, apart from the interaction with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful players are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine every time.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several versions of the game give the gambler an opportunity to increase their wins, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
