Video Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using an Internet account. The regulations are very simple and involve the player attempting to get the greatest combination of cards possible in order to come away with cash. On this account it is much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods used in a real-life game of poker, like tricking, will be useless in Video Poker.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (either tokens, credit slips or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically 'given out' on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with 'hold' written on them, and bettors will need to now choose which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the gambler would like to retain, the 'hold' buttons must be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards she wishes to keep, the player will then press 'draw', at which point any new cards will be needed they will be given out. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning bettors are able to pick the most beneficial game each and every time.

After the first round has played out, the player can either decide to stay on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the 'collect' button to retrieve any credits that they may have won. Additionally, several styles of the game give the gambler an opportunity to double their winnings, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks including wild cards and other varying aspects to enhance playability.
