Video Poker is a popular game that usually will be bet on in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, through an Internet account. The regulations are absolutely simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire cash. In this respect it's very similar as a regular game of poker, apart from the involvement with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it's tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A hand of five cards will be "dealt" on the video screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers should now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the 'hold' buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has chosen which cards he or she wishes to keep, the player will then press 'deal', which will mean that any fresh cards are given out if desired. The game 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 payout schedule.

Generally, 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 common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful players are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine each time.

As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their winnings, or they can press the 'collect' button to retrieve any cash that has been won. Further, a few versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to enhance playability.
