How to Play Electronic Poker

[ English ]

Electronic Poker is a favored game that is able to be gambled on in casinos across the world, or in your house on your PC, through a net account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to come away with money. In this respect it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, without the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are able to pick the most profitable ones each and every time.

Once the first round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, some versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to double their profits, in which case another round is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
