Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be wagered on in casinos across the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a net connection. The game rules are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the line of contact with other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and enthusiasts should now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Normally, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts 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 definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are agile enough to choose the most beneficial game every time.
Once the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
