Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos across the world, or in your house on your computer, through an Internet connection. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to acquire cash. On this account it is very similar as a normal game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the draw button. A five card hand will then be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and enthusiasts will need to now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that discerning enthusiasts are agile enough to choose the most beneficial machine each instance.
Once the first round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Additionally, a few styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
