Learning Enjoy Video Poker
Video Poker is a beloved game that is able to be bet on in casinos all over the world, or alternatively at your house on your PC, using an Internet connection. The game rules are very simple and consist of the player trying to get the highest combination of cards achievable in order to acquire money. In this respect it’s much the same as a regular game of poker, without the interaction with any other players. Of course, methods employed during a real-life game of poker, such as bluffing, will be useless here.
The game of Electronic Poker starts when the gambler puts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the machine and presses the deal button. A 5 card hand will be "handed out" on the video screen.
The Electronic Poker game also has buttons with ‘hold’ written on them, and players will need to now pick which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons should be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can choose to keep any amount of cards they wish, from all to none.
After the bettor has chosen which cards she would like to keep, the player will then press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards are needed they will be dealt. The round is now completed, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands listed in the pay out schedule.
Normally, the lowest winning hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money getting larger for each better hand. A list of common winning hands starts with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It should be known that the payout schedule can range from machine to machine, so that skillful enthusiasts are agile enough to pick the most profitable machine each and every time.
As soon as the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to continue on in an attempt to maximize their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that has been won. Additionally, several versions of the game allow the enthusiast a chance to double their wins, in which instance another game is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other differing characteristics to increase playability.
