Electronic Poker is a favored game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, through a net account. The rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with competing players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and players should now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the player has selected which cards he or she wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Typically, the lowest winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine each time.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation a further round is played. There are also variations among individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
