Electronic Poker is a popular game that is able to be played in casinos around the globe, or alternatively at home on your home computer, through an Internet account. The regulations are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to get the best combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it's very similar as a regular game of poker, minus the line of contact with other players. Of course, techniques employed during a physical game of poker, like tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the screen.

The Video Poker machine also has buttons with 'hold' printed on them, and enthusiasts will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor would like to retain, the 'hold' buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they wish, from all to none.

After the gambler has selected which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press 'deal', which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Normally, the minimum succeeding hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each and every better hand. A list of common winning hands begins 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 is obvious that the pay out schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that discerning players are agile enough to select the most profitable game each instance.

After the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to maximize their winnings, or they can press the 'collect' button to cash out any money that they may have won. Further, some versions of the game allow the bettor a chance to increase their profits, in which case a further game is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
