Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos around the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a net connection. The rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player trying to get the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, tactics used in a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will then be "distributed" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker machine also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.
After the player has chosen which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards will be dealt if desired. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payout schedule.
Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most profitable game each instance.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Further, a few styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their profits, in which instance another round is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
