October 9th, 2015 Leave a comment Go to comments

Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos all over the globe, or in your house on your PC, using a net connection. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, without the line of contact with any other players. Of course, methods used in a physical game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.

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

The Video Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players should now choose which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the bettor wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons must be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, whether it’s all or none.

After the gambler has selected which cards he wishes to retain, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be needed they will be given out. The game is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands listed in the payment schedule.

Typically, the minimum 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 two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that knowledgeable enthusiasts are able to select the most profitable ones each and every time.

As soon as the first round has completed, the player can either decide to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Further, some styles of the game give the player a chance to increase their winnings, in which situation a further round is played. There are also variations between specific games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
