Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or in your house on your PC, using an Internet connection. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "given out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the enthusiast has selected which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in 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 and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are able to select the most money-making machine each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their profits, in which situation another game is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
