Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be enjoyed in casinos around the world, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, through a web account. The regulations are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the highest combination of cards achievable in order to win cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards he or she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to choose the most money-making game every instance.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying characteristics to enhance playability.
