The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.

For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding 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, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable gamblers are agile enough to select the most money-making ones every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that might been won. Further, a few styles of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to increase their wins, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
