Video Poker is a favored game that can be enjoyed in casinos all over the globe, or alternatively at home on your personal computer, using an Internet connection. The rules are absolutely simple and involve the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards achievable in order to win money. On this account it’s much the same as a normal game of poker, apart from the interaction with competing players. Of course, techniques used in a real-life game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant in Video Poker.
The game of Video Poker starts when the player inserts credits (whether it’s tokens, credit slips or money) into the video poker machine and presses the deal button. A five card hand will be electronically ‘handed out’ on the video screen.
The Video Poker game also has hold buttons, and gamblers will need to now decide which cards to keep and which to throw away. For the cards the gambler wishes to retain, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they illuminate. The player can decide to keep any amount of cards they want, whether it is all or none.
After the enthusiast has decided on which cards she wishes to keep, they should press ‘deal’, which will mean that any new cards will be dealt if desired. The game is now completed, with the Electronic Poker machine scanning the cards to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands shown on the payout schedule.
Normally, the minimum winning hand on a Video 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, moving on to two pairs, 3 of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, 4 of a kinds, straight flushes and finally royal flushes. It goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful bettors are agile enough to select the most profitable game every time.
Once the initial round has finished, the player can either choose to remain on and try to to maximize their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any credits that have been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the gambler a chance to increase their wins, in which instance another hand is played. There are also differences between individual machines, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying aspects to increase playability.
