Video Poker is a favored game that is able to be wagered on in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your computer, using an Internet connection. The regulations are very simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the best combination of cards achievable in order to come away with money. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker starts when the player inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will be electronically ‘dealt’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor 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 wish, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the pay out schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most money-making game each and every time.
As soon as the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that might have been won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the player a chance to double their wins, in which situation another game is played. There are also variations between specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
