Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your PC, through a net connection. The game rules are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to win money. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, apart from the involvement 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 Electronic Poker starts when the bettor inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the play button. A hand of 5 cards will be "handed out" on the screen.

The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards will be dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It is obvious that the payment schedule can range from game to game, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most profitable ones each and every instance.

Once the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their profits, in which situation another hand is played. There are also differences between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
