Video Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your computer, through a web account. The rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the greatest mixture of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will then be "given out" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now decide which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.
After the gambler has decided on which cards he wishes to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Normally, the lowest 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 list of common winning hands starts 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 is obvious that the payout schedule can change from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to choose the most profitable machine each instance.
As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that have been won. Further, a few styles of the game give the bettor a chance to increase their winnings, in which instance a further round is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
