Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos across the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, through a net connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the highest assemblage of cards possible in order to come away with money. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Video Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the enthusiast has chosen which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards are given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout 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, 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 is obvious that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most profitable ones every time.
As soon as the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the player an opportunity to double their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
