Video Poker is a favored game that is able to be played in casinos around the world, or alternatively at your house on your computer, using an Internet account. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest assemblage of cards as you can in order to come away with money. In this respect it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the player inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will then be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.
After the player has decided on which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be given out if desired. 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 printed on 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, moving 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 definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to choose the most money-making machine every instance.
As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the player a chance to double their profits, in which case a further hand is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
