Video Poker is a favored game that can be played in casinos throughout the world, or alternatively at home on your computer, through a net account. The rules are very straightforward and consist of the player trying to achieve the greatest mixture of cards possible in order to win money. On this account it is very similar as a classic game of poker, minus the line of contact with competing players. Of course, techniques employed during a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.

The game of Video Poker starts when the gambler inserts credits (whether it is tokens, credit slips or cash) into the machine and pushes the deal button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now pick 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 decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards are given out if desired. The round is now finished, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.

Typically, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to 2 pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from game to game, so that experienced bettors are able to choose the most profitable machine every instance.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or they can press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few styles of the game give the bettor an opportunity to double their winnings, in which situation another round is played. There are also differences among individual games, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
