Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at your house on your home computer, through a web account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and involve the player trying to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. On this account it's very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the involvement with other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "given out" on the video screen.

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

After the player has chosen which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press 'draw', which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The game is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Generally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three 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 discerning enthusiasts are able to pick the most profitable game each and every instance.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or they can press the 'collect' button to retrieve any cash that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further round is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying characteristics to increase playability.
