Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be wagered on in casinos around the world, or in your house on your personal computer, using a web connection. The regulations are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the line of contact with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should 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 enthusiast has decided on which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from game to game, so that knowledgeable players are able to pick the most money-making ones each time.
After the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that might been won. Further, some versions of the game give the player a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance another hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
