The game of Video Poker begins when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and pushes the draw button. A 5 card hand will be "dealt" on the screen.

After the gambler has selected which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, at which point any fresh cards will be given out if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Normally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each and every better hand.

It goes without saying that the pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful players are able to pick the most profitable ones each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has completed, the player can either choose to continue on in an attempt to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any money that they may have won. Additionally, a few versions of the game give the enthusiast a chance to double their winnings, in which case a further round is played.
