Video Poker is a beloved game that can be gambled on in casinos throughout the globe, or in your house on your personal computer, using an Internet connection. The game rules are absolutely simple and consist of the player trying to achieve the best mixture of cards as you can in order to win cash. In this respect it is much the same as a classic game of poker, without the interaction with other players. Of course, tactics used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker begins when the player puts credits (whether it’s tokens, tickets or money) into the machine and presses the play button. A hand of five cards will then be electronically ‘handed out’ on the screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has hold buttons, and bettors will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to throw away. For the cards the enthusiast wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the gambler has selected which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the pay out schedule.
Normally, the minimum winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A common list of winning hands starts with jacks or better, moving on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can vary from game to game, so that discerning bettors are agile enough to pick the most money-making ones each and every time.
After the first round has finished, 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 money that might have been won. Additionally, several versions of the game give the bettor a chance to double their wins, in which instance a further round is played. There are also differences among specific machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other varying elements to enhance playability.
