Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be gambled on in casinos across the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, through a net connection. The regulations are very straightforward and involve the player attempting to get the best mixture of cards achievable in order to win cash. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be electronically ‘given out’ on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the bettor has decided on which cards he or she wishes to retain, they should press ‘deal’, at which point any new cards will be given out if desired. The hand is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each 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 finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are agile enough to select the most money-making ones each time.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to stay on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that has been won. Further, several styles of the game allow the player a chance to increase their profits, in which instance a further hand is played. There are also differences among individual machines, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
