Video 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, using a net connection. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the best combination of cards possible in order to acquire cash. In this respect it's much the same as a classic game of poker, apart from the line of contact with competing players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker begins when the bettor inserts credits (whether it's tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be "handed out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors should now choose which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the 'hold' buttons should be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, whether it is all or none.

After the gambler has decided on which cards he wishes to retain, they should press 'deal', which will mean that any fresh cards will be handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, 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 award money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning players are able to choose the most money-making game every instance.

After the first round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on in an attempt to increase their earnings, or press the 'collect' button to cash out any credits that might been won. Additionally, several styles of the game allow the bettor an opportunity to increase their winnings, in which case a further hand is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
