Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be enjoyed in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your PC, through an Internet account. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player trying to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. In this respect it's much the same as a regular game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a physical game of poker, like bluffing, will be useless here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Video Poker game also has buttons with 'hold' printed on them, and gamblers should now decide which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the 'hold' buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has chosen which cards she wishes to keep, they should press 'draw', at which point any fresh cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.

Generally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money growing for each and every better hand. A list of common 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 definitely goes without saying that the pay out schedule can change from game to game, so that experienced enthusiasts are able to pick the most profitable game each time.

As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to remain on in an attempt to maximize their winnings, or they can press the 'collect' button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the player an opportunity to double their winnings, in which instance a further game is played. There are also variations between individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing characteristics to enhance playability.
