Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be bet on in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your computer, using a web account. The rules are very straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the enthusiast inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will be "given out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards he would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two 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 payout schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning players are able to pick the most beneficial ones each instance.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the gambler an opportunity to double their wins, in which case another hand is played. There are also differences between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing aspects to increase playability.
