[ English ]

Video Poker is a popular game that can be gambled on in casinos throughout the world, or in your house on your personal computer, through a net connection. The regulations are very simple and consist of the player attempting to get the highest assemblage of cards as you can in order to come away with cash. In this respect it’s very similar as a normal game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the bettor puts credits (either tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A hand of 5 cards will then be "dealt" on the screen.

The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ printed on them, and gamblers should now choose which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can decide to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the enthusiast has chosen which cards he or she would like to keep, they should press ‘draw’, at which point any new cards are handed out if desired. The hand is now completed, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.

Typically, the minimum winning hand on a Video Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves 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 pay out schedule can vary from game to game, so that skillful enthusiasts are agile enough to select the most beneficial machine every instance.

As soon as the first round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any credits that they may have won. Additionally, some styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to increase their wins, in which case another hand is played. There are also variations among individual games, with some decks of cards having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
