Electronic Poker is a popular game that can be played in casinos throughout the globe, or alternatively at your house on your personal computer, using a web account. The regulations are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the greatest combination of cards achievable in order to win cash.

The game of Electronic Poker starts when the player puts credits (whether it is tokens, tickets or cash) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A 5 card hand will then be "given out" on the screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to discard. For the cards the bettor wishes to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they wish, whether it’s all or none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards he would like to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, which will mean that any new cards will be needed they will be handed out. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payment schedule.
Generally, the lowest succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the prize money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It is obvious that the pay out schedule can change from machine to machine, so that experienced players are agile enough to pick the most beneficial machine each instance.
Once the initial round has finished, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Additionally, some versions of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which situation another round is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
