Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be wagered on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your PC, using a net account. The rules are very simple and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. On this account it is much the same as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless in Video Poker.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.
The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has selected which cards he or she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.
Normally, the minimum succeeding 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, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are agile enough to choose the most beneficial machine each time.
After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that have been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
