Video Poker is a beloved game that usually will be bet on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, through a web account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to win money. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and pushes the deal button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the screen.
The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and players should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the player has selected which cards he or she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable bettors are able to pick the most profitable machine each time.
Once the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the player an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which situation a further round is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
