Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, through a net account. The rules are absolutely straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to win cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker begins when the enthusiast puts credits (whether it’s 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 screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and players will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must 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 player has decided on which cards he or she would like to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be handed out if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.
Generally, the minimum winning hand on a Video 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 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 payout schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced bettors are agile enough to pick the most profitable ones every time.
After the first round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Further, a few versions of the game give the gambler an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which instance a further game is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other differing aspects to enhance playability.
