Video Poker is a favored game that can be gambled on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, through a web connection. The regulations are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it is very similar as a regular game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be useless here.
The game of Video Poker begins when the enthusiast inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and enthusiasts will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must 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 gambler has chosen which cards he or she wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Normally, 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 starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It should be known that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that discerning bettors are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine each and every time.
After the first round has completed, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the player a chance to double their winnings, in which case a further game is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
